Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Iebia is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Iebia has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

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

  • Much of the surface is vast open plains and steppes.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

Iebia lies on the Yiklerzdanzh Main, the major trade route within the sector.

  • An eclectic mix of high cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

  • Worlds on the Main are marked in green.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Iebia has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

  • The federal government is responsible for the running of all starports in Meichntid Ibl. In practice, though, this means that the Federal Starports Authority sets up a list of rules and guide-lines by which all starports must be run, and then contracts the ports out to be run by various corporations.
  • The world is host to a Meichntid Military Station, which functions both as a Naval Base and as an Exploration Base.

World Population (P)[edit]

Iebia has a population of 70,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

Demographics[edit]

The overwhelming majority of Meichntid Ibl citizens are biological Zhodani.

  • Less than one percent of the Human gene pool is from Humans of other origins, primarily Vlazhdumecta.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The most widely spoken language is Zdetl.

Urbanization[edit]

People visiting Meichntid Ibl settlements can be overwhelmed by the level of advertising. Advertisements of all types will be seen, as there are no restrictions -- with the exception that subliminal or mind-altering advertising is illegal as it conflicts with the Anidrep philosophy.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Iebia possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Iebia is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

  • Politicians are elected to the world legislature, which is responsible for appointing a set number of representatives to the Meichntid Ibl Federal legislature. These federal representatives are responsible to the world legislature which appointed them.

World Military[edit]

  • Individual worlds in Meichntid Ibl are not permitted to have independent military forces. However, police and law enforcement activities are not military and are therefore under world government control.

World Law (L)[edit]

Iebia 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. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

  • As a member of the Meichntid Ibl, this world sees activity from the independent judiciary known as The Questioning Eye, the role of which is primarily to monitor government activities. The Questioning Eye has a wide range of powers in order to make sure that official affairs are conducted in an efficient and proper manner.
