Mainworld Topography and Geography[edit]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Galiibegada has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

Galiibegada has a population of 3,000 sophonts (thousands).

  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

World Demographics[edit]

World Languages[edit]

The following languages are most commonly heard:

  • Arzulan (Arzula-C, others)
  • 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.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Galiibegada possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)[edit]

Galiibegada has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Culture[edit]

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.
