Genesis Yes is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • 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.
  • It is an Inyx-dominated world in the Htai'asta Subsector of Banners Sector.

Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Genesis Yes is part of a cluster of worlds being developed by the Genesis corporation of the Inyx.

  • Genesis is heavily involved with genetic engineering, pharmaceutical manufacture, contract labour, and the exploitation of alien biospheres (both for new drugs and new sources of genetic material). Genesis also controls a large fleet of merchant cruisers.

World Starport[edit]

Genesis Yes 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)[edit]

Genesis Yes has a population of 500,000 sophonts (hundreds 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]

  • 30% of the population are Human, including free employees, indentured servants, and slaves.
    • Inyx slaveholding has led to some bad publicity. They are usually careful, however, not to offend alien sensibilities. Part of this policy is ensuring that slaves are not from the dominant species in any given region; thus, in this Aslan-dominated area, Human slaves are favoured (the reverse holds true in Human-dominant subsectors).
  • 70% of the population are Inyx.

Urbanization[edit]

Inyx live in cities constructed from genetically engineered coral.

  • Inyx construction coral comes in many varieties, including luminescent species that produce or carry electrical currents and which can be used as power conduits. Other species secrete metals, with carefully managed internal impurities so they function as electrical circuit boards.
  • Inyx buildings are usually one-story structures that follow a radial or spiral pattern, with important control centers or offices in the center.

World Technology Level[edit]

Genesis Yes possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Genesis Yes is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

  • The Inyx megacorporation Genesis controls this world.
