Freya is a rich, nonindustrial world.

  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
  • It is a member of the Corellan League in the Freya Subsector of the Beyond Sector.
  • This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
  • This world has a colony at Zterpyll.

Mainworld Topography and Geography[edit]

Most of the world is ocean. Noatun, the single major continent, is centered in the upper northern latitudes and has a primarily wet tropical climate.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Freya was colonised by Humans in -1570. Unusually for worlds in the Beyond, it was settled by loyalists of the Sindalian Empire, not members of the Sindalian Diaspora. The original settlement was a forward base for an invasion of Corella that never took place. Most of the strike force was withdrawn to deal with problems closer to home, but a crew of three hundred remained. Nearly all the current six million citizens of Freya can trace at least one ancestor back to those three hundred.

World Starport[edit]

Freya 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]

Freya has a population of 6,000,000 sophonts (millions).

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

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The common language is "Corellan Galanglic", a distinct dialect of Anglic.

Urbanization[edit]

Many coastal towns on the Noatun continent and the Gersemi island chain are focused on tourism; in resort areas offworld visitors from the wider Corellan League often outnumber natives.

World Government (G)[edit]

Freya is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

As a full member of the Corellan League, Freya sends two representatives to the League Assembly, which convenes aboard the Capital Orbital habitat, a station in geosynchronous orbit above Corella.
