Feneteman, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.
- It is a member of the Towers Cluster.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Stellar Data[edit]
Feneteman is a binary star system.
- The primary is a yellow main sequence.
- The secondary is a red main sequence.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Feneteman was unpopulated until 1100, when a survey sponsored by Ling-Standard Products discovered deposits of lanthanum. When the concentration was deemed insufficient for commercial mining, LSP released the survey report to the public and offered to rent prospectors equipment in return for an interest in any discoveries. The offer has been sufficient to maintain a small population of fortune seekers on the world, but without visible results. [2]
In 1110, shortly after the end of the Fifth Frontier War, a Kforuzeng raider, badly damaged in an encounter with Imperial forces at Nasemin (Spinward Marches 3003) jumped into the system. At the time there was a K'kree merchant delegation visiting the world at the invitation of LSP. The resulting confrontation caused a minor diplomatic incident.

- See: Nobles of Feneteman
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Feneteman has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World Population (P)[edit]
Feneteman has population of 900 sophonts (hundreds).
- This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
World Government (G)[edit]
Feneteman has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Feneteman has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
World Technology Level (TL)[edit]
Feneteman possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-3.
Historical-Era: Rebellion[edit]
Feneteman during The Rebellion
A raid in 1119 by a Vargr fleet destroyed the orbital port before attempting to plunder the world. The fleet was scattered by pursuing Imperial Navy vessels. [3]
