History & Background (Dossier)

Imperial Landed Nobility (N)

Ercan, 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 estate and fiefdoms of three members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the estate of an Imperial baronet.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial marquis.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial viscount.

World Starport

Ercan 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)

Ercan has a population of 900,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

World Demographics

• Sylean: 60%
• Imperial mainstream Humaniti (Vilani-Solomani): approaching 40%
• Scattered representatives of various other sophont species may be found here.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

• Core Anglic: One of the principal dialects of one of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
• Sylean: The traditional Sylean tongue, maintained as a major language within the Sylean Worlds.
• Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.

World Military

As with all of the Sylean Worlds save Capital and Yirsh Poy, Ercan is demilitarised and has been since the Civil War.

World Law (L)

Ercan has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Imperial law is almost completely compatible with the Syleans' Maarist religious law. Sylean marriage customs (which include polygamy and concubinage) are the most likely points of contention. Syleans also come into frequent conflict with strong intellectual-property laws in other Imperial cultures.

World Culture

The major Sylean religion is Maar Zon, centered on the holy book, the Maar Ki Zon.
