Itsplanzhikar is an agricultural world.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It is a member of the Izrats Kriezhlas Unity in the Izh Kriezhlal Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• This world has an Interface Base, with similarities to a Scout Base, but also functioning as a Trade Base and Customs Facility.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x4 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

The system does not contain any secondary rocky worlds. Evidence suggests that in the distant past all four of the system's planetoid belts were planets.

Mainworld Data

Itsplanzhikar is a satellite of a gas giant.

• The gas giant has a narrow ring system made up of dark-colored objects no larger than a few meters in diameter.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zone's prime H region.
• They receive moderate levels of stellar energy.
• The gas giant is "puffy", warm and swollen due to the energy it receives from the star.

Mainworld Size (S)

Itsplanzhikar is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Itsplanzhikar has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

• It experiences moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Itsplanzhikar has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

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

Over the centuries, tens of thousands of offworld species have been introduced, creating a complex, stable, self-perpetuating ecosystem which helps maintain the world's atmosphere.

• These introduced species form the foundation of the world's agricultural economy.

History & Background (Dossier)

Itsplanzhikar was one of the first settled worlds of the Unity. With a temperate climate, the major problem facing settlement was a lack of sophisticated lifeforms – most native lifeforms on the world are ocean-dwelling cyanobacteria-parallels that, through their metabolic processes, maintain the world's atmosphere. Over the millennia, introduced species have solved this environmental problem. The introduced species also help "fine tune" the atmosphere, maintaining it at an ideal Standard rating.

Itsplanzhikar is one of the most technologically advanced systems in the Unity.

World Starport (St)

Itsplanzhikar 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 world is host to an Interface Base, with similarities to a Scout Base, but also functioning as a Trade Base and Customs Facility.

Itsplanzhikar orbits the gas giant close to the outer edge of its narrow ring system. The ring can make orbital operations difficult, so the main facilities of the starport are on the gas giant's second outer moon. All trade, customs, and immigration are channeled through this facility.

World Population (P)

Itsplanzhikar has a population of 30,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

• The population almost entirely consists of Vlazhdumecta.

Linguistic Topography

The most widely spoken language is Vlazhdumecta.

Urbanization

Settled areas on a Vlazhdumecta world will feature Kishik ("Places of Contemplation"), used for quiet experience of the sublime. Most settlements have a variety of such places, whether constructed (the equivalent of Solomani churches and monasteries) or natural (e.g. preserved beauty spots).

World Technology Level (T)

Itsplanzhikar possesses a Technology Level of TL–14 or TL-E in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early meson communicators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, early collectors, and advanced fusion plants.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-5.

World Government (G)

Itsplanzhikar is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Law (L)

Itsplanzhikar has a moderate 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 except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture

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