Holdemar is an icy, low-population world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

  • This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
  • This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Holdemar 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.

Holdemar has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Holdemar has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

World Starport[edit]

Holdemar 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.

World Technology Level[edit]

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

World Government[edit]

Holdemar is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Military[edit]

A battalion of marines is assigned as a garrison of the starport. Battalions rotate and serve four years on station before being rotated home. They are expected to bring their families. Any Moralitate member world can be called upon to provide these forces. As a result, the quality and equipment level of the garrison forces can vary substantially from deployment to deployment.

World Law[edit]

Like all worlds in the Tenjada Moralitate, Holdemar has a strong core of faithful who move from satrap to satrap, ensuring the purity and loyalty of the citizens. They collect the tithe, to ensure that the offertory can afford to manufacture ships and field armies of faithful, holy warriors.

Enclaves and monasteries of loyal monks and scribes networked into huge AI complexes manage all legal data and contracts, scriptures and teachings of the Tenjada. These are constantly updated and patched every time vessels travel from one system to the next. If a vessel is hailed with the good news and its computer doesn't know the correct piece of scripture with which to reply, it is marked as apostate, awaiting clerical review.

World Economy[edit]

  • Resources: 9 (Moderate)
  • Labor: 2 (Hundreds)
  • Infrastructure: 1 (Extremely limited)
  • Efficiency: +0 (Average)

Trade Data[edit]

Importance -2 (Unimportant)

The ten holy books of scripture, or jada in the holy tongue, have extensive rules for the disposition of possessions, family members, livestock, land, and crafts. All interplanetary trade is closely monitored by anointed members of the faithful.

World Demographics[edit]

Population 7,000

World Culture[edit]
