Greytown is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• 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 a member of the Glenauran Signatorate in the Rom's Loch Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• It is a chilly tundra world, with a climate of low temperatures.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x5 planetoid belts.

The system does not contain any secondary rocky worlds.

Mainworld Data

Greytown orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Greytown is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

• It experiences high levels of seismic and volcanic activity.
• This appears to be the consequence of an event known as the Greytown Impact.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Greytown has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences low temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Greytown has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a few ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native lifeforms are cryophilic - they survive in low temperatures.

An extinction level event occurred around a quarter of a million years ago, wiping out almost all native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Greytown shows evidence of having been struck by a massive object around a quarter of a million years ago. It is academically referred to as the Greytown Impact.

• Greytown is the only planet in its system - every other orbital position around the star is occupied by a planetoid belt.
• The planetoid belts appear to have been created at the same time as the Greytown Impact

This small world exports proteins in concentrated forms. Though not one of the original proponents of the Glenauran Signatorate, it signed up to obtain security it couldn't provide for itself. It is now a strong supporter of the treaty.

World Starport (St)

Greytown 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)

Greytown has a population of 90,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Technology Level (T)

Greytown possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
  • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Greytown 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 Law (L)

Greytown 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 Culture

The world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.

World Timeline

• 300-420: the First Survey charts the system.
• 995-1065: the Second Survey charts the system.
• 1065: the Second Survey is published.
