Hypaethral is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Lagaar Subsector of Zarushagar Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
  • This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Hypaethral is a member of the Boa Trace, a small cluster and minor trade route in the coreward part of Zarushagar Sector.

Hypaethral has long attempted to have the name of the region it lies within changed from Boa Trace to Hypaethral Cluster, though so far with little success. Boa was the first world to be settled in the Trace during the Imperial era and as such has lent the region its name. Hypaethral, a substantially more important member but settled a few years later, argues that referring to the region as a "Cluster" rather than a "Trace" would give it more gravitas, but no matter how hard they try to sell Hypaethral as a name, it just doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way that Boa does.

The world is home to a community of ethnically distinct pro-Imperial Solomani refugees who fled their homes in the Solomani Rim at the outbreak of the Solomani Rim War.

The Hypaethral Titans are the Boa Trace's premier Null-G Kabbadi team.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Hypaethral 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 Population (P)[edit]

Hypaethral has a population of 5,000,000 sophonts (millions).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
  • A community of ethnic Solomani (around 5% of the population, roughly 250,000 individuals) resides on the world.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

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

World Government (G)[edit]

Hypaethral is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

World Law (L)[edit]

Hypaethral has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Hypaethral, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdom of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.
