Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Iaasiv is a Big World between 15,200km and 16,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1.1G and 1.5G. The horizon will appear about 5.7km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

  • A high gravity acclimatisation course, consisting of a regimen of physical exercise in gradually increased gravity, and lasting some two or three weeks, is recommended before a Traveller operates on Iaasiv. Many starlines operating services to this world offer such courses.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Iaasiv has an Insidious Atmosphere which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit, but extreme conditions cause the corrosive effects to defeat any personal protective measures in a few hours. TL–10 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Iaasiv has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

In the 1110s, the Iaasiv leader, Chorschuv, arranged a long-term pact with the Hive Federation to build large cargo vessels to accommodate Human passenger and freight service. The Hiver representatives agreed to increase the capacity of the Iaasiv shipyards from E to B, a process that should be completed in five years. Ships built at Iaasiv would generally be put into service along the Alike Run and the Bruia Diagonal Run. They were to be crewed by Iaasivans, and managed by Chorschuv for the Hiver owners.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Iaasiv has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

  • As of the 1110s, the starport is in the process of being upgraded with Hive Federation assistance.

World Population (P)[edit]

Iaasiv has a population of 60,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

The mainworld's population is 33 billion as of the 1110s. Settlements elsewhere in the system make up the remainder.

World Demographics[edit]

Humaniti (with minorities of other species, e.g. Gurvin, Gniivi)

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Iaasiv possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Iaasiv is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Law Level (L)[edit]

Iaasiv has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
