Gallego is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
• It is a member of the Grand United States of Quesada, which is a member state of the Solomani Confederation, in the Wovoka Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Orizaba Cluster.

Description / Astrography & Planetology

History & Background (Dossier)

Gallego is a member of the Orizaba Cluster, a small cluster and minor trade route lying within the coreward-trailing quadrant of Aldebaran Sector.

The Quesadan Inquisition is known to be active on the world. It is a religiously sponsored investigative agency that is charged with rooting out heretical thinking. It has the authority to detain and question individuals.

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.

World Starport (St)

Gallego has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.

World Population (P)

Gallego has a population of 4,000 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.
• The population almost entirely consists of Solomani humans.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Latin, an ancient Terran language used by the Church of Quesada.
• Quesadan Spanish, an Iberian Dialect of the Spanish subfamily of languages of Terran origin spoken principally in the Grand United States of Quesada.
• Rim Anglic, a dialect of Anglic and the principal language of the Confederation.
  • It is a second language within the Grand United States.

World Starport

Gallego has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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 Gallego downport is largely run by automation, with a skeleton staff of off-world administration, skilled mechanics, and maintenance workers.

World Technology Level

Gallego possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government

Gallego 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.

No formal governmental structure was identified.

World Law Level

Gallego has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

The population seems to be heavily-armed as a group.

World Culture

Much like Cadiz, we were met just past the outer downport portal by a heavily-armed group of about 50 citizens. Some of them wore reflect and carried laser carbines. They were more or less formally dressed in Church sanctioned attire, clearly identifying their status and occupations (see attached VR/AR). We were clearly told that we and our kind were not welcome and not wanted, and that "God would put paid to us for our sins" and to (again) "be off".

By observation, it is apparently that this colony has basic fusion power and at least a secured colony network.

Urbanization

Most structures seemed to be type II and type III Orient domes with standard interconnections.
