Hebron is a pre-agricultural, nonindustrial garden world.

  • 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 garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most forms of sophontic life.
  • It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to gradually rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Star Bridge Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.
  • This world has a nearby Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
  • This world has a nearby Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

Hebron was originally occupied by the Aetna military in 925. A military unit built the starport, Naval Base, and military base in preparation for a major population influx. The first settlers brought over were the families of the military units working in Hebron.

However, the expected migration from Aetna never materialized. For political reasons, the migration plans were first postponed then scrapped.

The Hebron military units became very accustomed to self-rule, simply keeping their superiors on Aetna apprised of practical decisions and personnel assignments. After about 20 years, the Hebron units decided to make the situation formal, and declared their independence from Aetna and the Solomani Confederation.

World Starport[edit]

Hebron has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level[edit]

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

The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law Level[edit]

World Culture[edit]

The culture of Hebron was military from the beginning, and they have raised their families in that tradition. The very language of Anglic is liberally sprinkled with military acronyms and terminologies, sometimes used in surprising ways.

All children from 12yo and up have a scout rank and role within the community unit. There is a community chain of command. Younger children are assigned a scout command unit that reports to an adult school cadre. All adults have a rank and unit.

Urbanization[edit]

There is a small urban center being developed approximately 10km from the downport.
