System Data

The worlds of the system have been partially surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Iedree orbits within the prime region of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Iedree is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Iedree has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences generally moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Iedree has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

• Much of the surface is an arid, hostile environment.

Satellites

Iedree retains two small vacuum moons.

• They orbit once every few weeks.

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Iedree 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.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

• Worlds on the Main are marked in green.

World Starport (St)

Iedree has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

• 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)

Iedree has a population of 60,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

Demographics

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

The most widely spoken language is Zdetl.

Urbanization

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)

Iedree possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government (G)

Iedree is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes 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

• 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)

Iedree 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.

World Culture

This world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.

Unlike the Consulate, of which the Meichntid Ibl was once part, psionic ability is not associated with natural leadership.

The average Meichntid Ibl citizen is under enormous pressure to succeed. This lifelong pressure comes in many different forms, from media content to peer group pressure. The average successful citizen works for one of the many corporations which dominate the Meichntid Ibl economy. These corporations demand a great deal of loyalty from their employees, and those seen to be loyal and efficient can expect lucrative bonuses, fringe benefits, or other perks provided by the company.
