Huecar 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.
  • This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
  • This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
  • It is a member of the Grand United States of Quesada, which is a member state of the Solomani Confederation, in the Wovoka Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Huecar is home to a diverse type of both flora and fauna, all of which seem to descend from Terran or Villani stock, albeit from hundred of thousands of year ago. Almost every species on the world is edible by most sophonts; travelling vargr should consult with a local physician.

The high carbon-dioxide content and warm climate make for a continual growing season. Plants grow very quickly on Huecar, and the trees are truly gigantic.

World Starport[edit]

Huecar 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.

The Heucar starport system is a major hub for business dealing, and provides excellent accommodations for travellers. The Travellers Aid Society maintains an advanced hostel on Ring B of the downport. It is highly recommended that all travellers consult and coordinate with TAS before considering venturing outside the Starport system.

World Government[edit]

Huecar is governed by a Religious Autocracy. A direct religious theocracy where the government head is a single person who is also the head of the religion organization. The Church hierarchy also serves as the government bureaucracy.

World Law Level[edit]

Huecar has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). All aspects of life rigidly controlled with disproportionate punishments for even minor legal infractions.There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

World Demographics[edit]

Population: 30B

Humaniti 100%

World Culture[edit]

Huecar leadership is made of "true sons of the Church" who have used everything in their power to make the population subjugate to the wisdom of the Holyman. They consider themselves to be the true inheritors of that wisdom, and look down on the liberal leadership of Quesada.

The government is vigilant, all-seeing, and ever-ready to discipline wrong doers. Mercy is always present...in some amount...particularly to those who tithe sincerely.

The Church has a degree requiring a certain level of "food purity" which dictates how food can be sourced, slaughtered, and prepared. It also encourages the use of local spices and flavours, and sponsors an almost continual selection of cooking and baking contests and festivals. The food here may well be worth having to mind your manners.

Urbanization[edit]

Urban centers have been strategically spaced and constructed using Tech-13/14 level techniques, making them flexible, efficient, comfortable, and very secure.
