Ye-Lu is a low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Cemplas Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• During the Long Night this world was named Guuirk (world).

System Data: Naval Facilities

Navy scientists at Ye-Lu are particularly proud of their accomplishments:

• The starport is operated by the Imperial Navy as a research project, testing the limits of robotic networking. The entire corps of robots at the facility is tied together into one gigantic master/slave network; theoretically, the entire starport is "one" robot, with only "one" brain, but the brain is dispersed throughout the complex.
• All communication between the robots is handled by portable meson communicators, another important experimental device developed by the Imperial Navy at Guuirk.

History & Background (Dossier)

Prior to the Third Imperium, this world was a member of the Interstellar Confederacy.

World Timeline

Significant events affecting this world and its surrounding region include the following:

• -684: A politician from Sketola, Rom Debeshuut, unites the worlds of the Great Spiral into the Interstellar Confederacy. The primary goal is to restore interstellar trade and preserve the technology of the four or five systems that have achieved TL-12.
• -623: After expanding to 32 star systems, the Interstellar Confederacy abruptly stops accepting new members, believing that doing so will have a deleterious effect on their ability to retain the Tech Levels they have built to.

• -260: The Interstellar Confederacy and the Sylean Federation go to war.
