Mainworld Data[edit]

Idris is a very large moon of an extremely large rocky planet, Rockstar, which itself has a size rating of J with a surface gravity of 4.5g. Landing on Rockstar is not advised by craft with a maneuver drive less than M-5 for that reason. Most sophonts not adapted to high gravity will have extreme difficulties operating on such a planet.

Idris is more hospitable, with a surface gravity of 0.5g. Otherwise, it is a rock with a trace atmosphere; "For color" explain the residents.

Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

Idris has the usual patina of impact craters, most of which are quite large.

World Starport[edit]

Idris 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.

Idris Downport is a locally sanctioned large crater for landings. There is a large water tank as unrefined fuel, but the cost is dear.

World Government[edit]

Idris is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be monarchy, with titles passed to family members. Or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Or the organization may be more typical organization with positions of power inherited.

World Law Level[edit]

Idris 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. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
