System Data[edit]

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Filazah is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Filazah 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Filazah has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background[edit]

Filazah has by far the largest population of any Lithkind world. It is also very welcoming to alien trade and tourism, from the Krotan Primacy, Hive Federation, and elsewhere.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Filazah 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

Filazah has a population of 70,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

World Demographics[edit]

  • Lithkind, 95%
  • As with any Lithkind world, society is split between separate, complimentary male and female settlements, divided by the "Crimson Wall", both a physical and a conceptual divide.

World Languages[edit]

Urbanization[edit]

Lithkind enjoy nature, and prefer to surround themselves with animals and plants. Houses are often adorned with attractive vegetation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Filazah 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.

A paired set of male and female corporate executives help govern this world.

World Law Level (L)[edit]

Filazah 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.

Law emphasizes settlement between individuals and clans rather than state authority. Because of their belief in reincarnation, Lithkind have been known to continue blood-debts and blood-feuds that last centuries. In an effort to control bloodshed, a justified blood-feud (known as an ariseth) is legally recognized if registered with local government bodies.

In Lithkind society, almost everyone carries some form of weapon, even if it's only a ceremonial knife or needler.

World Technology Level (TL)[edit]

Filazah possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Military[edit]

  • Legion of Midnight (Infantry and Air-Space Transport, female)
  • Legion of Starlight (Navy, male)

World Culture[edit]

At the heart of the Lithkind belief system is faith in reincarnation. When a child claws its way from the mother's womb, it is assumed to be the reincarnation of its father (if male) or mother (if female). When the litter is larger, it is assumed that the souls have "split" among the children -- this is a good sign, showing that the parents' souls have grown in strength.

Many Lithkind are believers in Xyastra, a complex astrological and necromantic system, in which sympathetic magic is supposedly used to alter probability.
