Iscariot is a nonindustrial, fluidic hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.
• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a world within the Kostov Confederate Republic, a member state of the Solomani Confederation, in the Gamma Leonis Subsector of Neworld Sector.

• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Kostov (world).

Mainworld Data

Iscariot is the largest rocky body in this system, and orbits well outside the standard life zone.

Iscariot is a cold, small-standard sized world with a carbon-dominated atmosphere and fluid oceans. The single large sea here is predominantly butane-propane, with an atmosphere of ethane/ethene and methane. Weather exists here, and it does rain propane. The landmass is a mixture of basalts and frozen water-ice.

World Starport (Sp)

Iscariot has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Mainworld Size (S)

Iscariot is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Iscariot has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks, but protective suits not necessary, but are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Iscariot The equatorial world sea makes up 20% of the surface area.

World Technology Level

Iscariot possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Iscariot has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. A colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Kostov law dominates here, and is implemented by an appointed Governor. The Governor in turn appoints Mayor over each of the major cities, though of late, the Governor has executed reasonably fair elections and simply appointed the winners.

Police forces are civilian in nature.

World Law Level (L)

Iscariot 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.

World Population (P)

6 million

World Demographics

Humaniti, population 100%

World Military

A division-size military base can be found 10km from the planetary capitol, Iscariosa. The base has anti-air, anti-space emplacements and several SDCs.

In theory, this force can be used to repel hostiles and deal with environmental disasters. Typically, the base is used a cold-environment training camp.

World Economy

Trade Data

Exports: raw organics, plastics Imports: food, industrial equipment, electronics

Urbanization

6 T-9 cities have been constructed around the world sea. They are undomed, and the streets are generally constructed of water-ice. Buildings have thick outer walls of precast materials engineered for cryonic temperatures, and generally have well-maintained 2-stage airlocks.

Residential zones are typically arcologies, which allows the population to enjoy life without the constant use of vaccsuits. These are connected using both elevated and subterranean walkways and trams. The subway system is moderately deep and heated. Private residences and vehicles are primarily owned and used by the independently wealthy here, though many of the well-to-do still prefer to live in arcologies for their social aspect.

Energy production is based on basic fission units, which is nonetheless enough to provide for abundant power. Heating the cities and subways is energy intensive, but not a true issue. It does mean that care must be taken to not melt any water-ice supports under buildings and other infrastructure that does exist.

World Infrastructure

This world possesses limited (2) infrastructure.

World Culture

Iscariot is largely populated by what were the poorer castes from Kostov. Educational levels vary widely.

World Language/s

• Anglic
• Kostov Russian

Vilani is available as an language for academic study.

Historical Data

Iscariot was settled 150 years ago, and has grown to its current size organically. Even now, many immigrants arrive for a variety of reasons each year. Voluntary immigrants can and do depart at will.
