Fie's Teeth is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
- 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.
- This world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by humans located in the Smoke Subsector of Thaku Fung Sector.
As of 1105, Fie's Teeth is a frontline against the Corsair Lyceum. The system is heavily patrolled, mostly by System Defense Boats built in Beegrass or Yeree, imported, and flown by local crews. Opposing them is a sporadic but continuing stream of Corsair Lyceum raiders who jump in (near Fie's Teeth or one of its gas giants), attack anything nearby, then either jump out before they can be counterattacked if there are SDBs nearby, or fill their holds with salvage from the floating debris then jump out.
The locals have Ghost Galleons available, limiting the size of SDBs that can be carried to 1,000 tons, though in practice they never carry any one boat more than 600 tons, and the majority of the boats they deliver are no more than 200 tons. With few nearby still-functioning friendly Class A Starports to make more starships, the Ghost Galleons have become priority targets, and as such use some of their cargo capacity for SDBs assigned as permanent escorts (similar to battle riders) instead of for delivery. 16 years of war have left Fie's Teeth's 100 diameter zone (and to a lesser extent, the 100 diameter zones of the gas giants) a dangerous minefield of debris, but still the deliveries come, as do the raids.
If this system were near the Third Imperium, it would easily qualify as a Red Zone. Alas, Fie's Teeth is too far from the Rho Cluster or Solomani Preserve for them to enforce such a zone, and the Corsair Lyceum is not yet able to enforce its will either.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Fie's Teeth is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Fie's Teeth has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.
The raining debris is generally caught and burned up in the atmosphere. There is not enough mass of burned up debris to taint the atmosphere yet, though some locals are working on chemical capture efforts - mostly, engineering trees to scrub metals from the air - to keep the atmosphere breathable.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Fie's Teeth has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Fie's Teeth has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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.
The debris field makes a highport impractical.
World Population (P)[edit]
Fie's Teeth has a population of 100,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).
- This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
World Technology Level[edit]
Fie's Teeth possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
- Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
- Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
- Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
- FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.
World Government[edit]
Fie's Teeth is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be monarchy, with titles passed to family members. Or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Or the organization may be more typical organization with positions of power inherited.
World Law Level[edit]
Fie's Teeth has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
World Military[edit]
Primarily naval services, dedicated to preventing the Corsair Lyceum from establishing a foothold. On any world or moon other than Fie's Teeth itself, if there were any such foothold it would be the victim of orbital bombardment as soon as forces could get there. On Fie's Teeth, invaders would face a cannibalized military with only a few thousand troops remaining, essentially entirely light infantry with unarmored and barely armed grav vehicle transports.
