Native Lifeforms[edit]
Certain carnivorous lifeforms -- and the habitats supporting them -- are protected due to their important role in predation of Hiver larvae. Hiver intelligence is the product of environmental stresses in infancy; avoiding these perils triggers the larva's capacity for consciousness.
History & Background / Dossier[edit]
The Threat Annulment Society of Glyah is a noteworthy Topical Club established here. This band of like-minded Hivers works for the good of the Federation -- or so they say -- by quietly removing threats along the borders. By 'quietly' they mean 'without repercussions for the Hivers responsible'. Economic subversion is preferred, but the Threat Annulment Society has previously sent troops to invade entire worlds.
World Starport[edit]
Glyah has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
- There is an associated Naval Base.
- A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
- The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
- Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.
World Population (P)[edit]
Glyah has a population of 5,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
World Languages[edit]
- Hiver Sign Language
- Gurvin
- Non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.
Urbanization[edit]
Hivers are fond of rounded shapes, domes, spheres and non-Euclidian architecture. This is ironic in that many schools of Hiver starship construction are focused around the opposite -- extremely square, boxy ships.
- Hivers like small, cramped domiciles with defined spaces and solid walls. Much of a Hiver nest is subterranean.
- Pet Snohl may be found in the deeper nests.
World Technology Level[edit]
Glyah possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C 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-3.
World Government[edit]
Glyah 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.
World Military[edit]
As a member of the Hive Federation, Glyah can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Glyah 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.
World Economy[edit]
The Hive Federation currency (or closest equivalent) is the Biyzihn.
