Mainworld Data[edit]

Garonne is largely a hot water world with 80% of the surface covered in a deep ocean.

The atmosphere is thin, but very humid. Without the water content, the atmosphere would probably be considered very thin. As a result, there is a consistent cloud cover over most if not all of the world. Initial readings indicate that the process of evaporation is increasing. Given its position, Garonne may be considered a pre-Hot House planet (Venus class).

Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

There is a northern polar continent, and a large number of scattered archipelagoes across the planet.

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.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
    • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
    • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
    • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
    • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government[edit]

Garonne is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be monarchy, with titles passed to family members. Or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Or the organization may be more typical organization with positions of power inherited.

World Law Level[edit]

Garonne 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. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy[edit]

Per the world net, there are numerous edible species on Garonne that evolved independently, both flora and fauna. This sea life is being harvested regularly using locally constructed fishing vessels.

Other foodstuffs are grown using standard aquaculture. Ivraien grasses are being grown anywhere they will take, and there are plans for importing livestock.

Note: The local cuisine is surprising good. The sea dishes are highly spiced, but with commonly available spices.

Trade Data[edit]

Most trade is internal.

Urbanization[edit]

Gabonton is the a Tech-9 urban center on the coastline of the northern continent. It is a mixture of interconnected dome structures (probably from the settlement phase) and more substantial arcologies. There is a seafront area with newly constructed docks, and a seawall.

The Class-C Starport is located 10km to the north, away from the ocean. It is connected by a concrete roadway, and a 2-track heavy rail system.
