Hydraotes 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Borealis Kantel Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• This world is administered by Jasmire.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Hydraotes is a binary star system.

• The primary is a tempestuous red bright giant.
• The secondary is a tiny white dwarf stellar remnant.

Hydraotes has two stars in the star system.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x2 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.

Mainworld Data

No information yet available.

Mainworld Size (S)

Hydraotes is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Hydraotes has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. 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 Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.
• Atmospheric oxygen is produced by a photocatalytic reaction between stellar energy and surface minerals.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

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

Native Lifeforms

No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

World Starport (St)

Hydraotes 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.

Facilities

Port facilities within the system include:

• No information yet available.

World Technology Level (T)

Hydraotes possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Hydraotes has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy

• Resources: 7 (few)
• Labor: 3 (thousands)
• Infrastructure: 2 (extremely limited)
• Efficiency: -2 (fair)

Trade Data

• Importance: -3 (very unimportant)

World Demographics (P)

Hydraotes has a population of 70,000

Urbanization

A single large urban center is surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• The population inhabit a single relatively large region.
• Structures and facilities are sealed against local environmental conditions.
• Much of the surface of the world remains as wilderness.

World Culture

• Homogeneity: 3 (monolithic)
• Acceptance: 3 (xenophobic)
• Strangeness: 4 (somewhat distinct)
• Symbols: 8 (somewhat abstract)
