Fetap is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Hegemony of Lorean in the Nishamidu Subsector of Arzul Sector.

• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Fetap has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• There is an associated Hegemonic Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Fetap has a population of 5,000,000 sophonts (millions).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics

• Arzula Humaniti, 60%
  • The Arzula are dominantly Vilani in ancestry, with strong 'minor notes' of Solomani Slavic and Arabic heritages.
• Vargr, 40%
  • Irilitok Vargr
  • Suedzuk Vargr

World Languages

The following languages are most commonly heard:

• Arzulan (Arzula-C, others)
  • Various local languages may be heard, but have no support from the Lorean government.
• Irilitok: The language family of the most populous Vargr phenotype and ethnic culture within the Julian Protectorate.
  • Tenirruet: A widespread Irilitok trade language within the Hegemony of Lorean
• Suedzuk: The language family of a major Vargr ethnic bloc.
  • Evrgoer: The most common Suedzuk dialect within modern Lorean space.

World Technology Level (T)

Fetap possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
• 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-4.

World Government (G)

Fetap is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Culture

Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of

• A Vilani conformity and caution,
• A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
• A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.

World Timeline

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

• 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
• 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
  • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
• 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
  • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
• 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
• 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
  • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
• 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
• 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
• 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
