World Starport[edit]
Isk 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.
World Population (P)[edit]
Isk has a population of 100,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
World Demographics[edit]
90% of the population are Luriani.
A significant minority of the cultural Luriani population are biological Solomani or Vilani. The Solomani, known as Veresti Dtareen (Terran Defenders) descend from Terran soldiers and administrators of the Rule of Man stranded during the Long Night, while the Vilani are known as Mmarislusant (Victims of History), and descend from stranded Vilani colonists. Both groups have absorbed much of Luriani culture and are seen both by themselves and the natives as being genuine Luriani.
World Languages[edit]
Aaca is short-form for Aaeebuany't' limmisdasca.
Verasti Dtareen speak a variant of Anglic known as Luriani Anglic or "Lurglic", while the Mmarislusant retain their language of Old High Vilani. The Luriani Cultural Association expends considerable effort to ensure that all three languages remain in use.
World Technology Level[edit]
Isk possesses a Technology Level of TL–3.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Printing press, the mechanical telegraph, and the first audio recordings.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Coal or other simple hydrocarbon fuels and early steam engines.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Bicycles and early steam coaches with advanced roadways.
- Water: Advanced sailing and early steam engine ships.
- Air: The earliest hot air balloons.
World Government[edit]
Isk is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.
World Military[edit]
No information yet available.
World Law (L)[edit]
Isk 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.
- Luriani like their police close to the communities they serve, and there is normally at least one community verasrasti (constable) per 800 individuals. They are expected to be familiar with the people they police.
- In addition to the normal law enforcement services, the Iadtlu militia is available to deal with emergencies in the case of either serious unrest or disaster.
- Justice and punishment are handled by trained arbiters, using an inquisitorial legal system. Both prosecution and defence are normally handled by state-employed advocates.
- The Luriani do not use capital punishment, nor can the Imperium apply the death penalty on a Luriani world for crimes against Imperial justice.
World Economy[edit]

Trade Data[edit]

World Culture[edit]
The complex and seemingly all-pervasive nature of Luriani etiquette is one of the mechanisms they employ to moderate their emotionally volatile natures. The Solomani and Vilani minority populations -- the Verasti Dtareen and Mmarislusant -- adopted the same code of conduct.
