History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Fracas has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Fracas has a population of 30,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

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

World Demographics[edit]

Linguistic Topography[edit]

World Technology Level[edit]

Fracas possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Fracas 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[edit]

As a member of the Asimikigir Confederation, this is a world where Humans and Vargr share an integrated society with total social, economic, and political equality between the two species. This extends even to the personal level, where the interspecies panet relationship is very common.
