Jaeyela is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

  • 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 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.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Vipach Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
  • Homeworld of the Ael Yael.

World Government (G)[edit]

Specifically, the Jaeyelya Planetary Development Fund is the only truly planetwide institution, and provides the closest thing the Ael Yael have to a planetary government.

Note that within local communities, which tend to be small, decisions are typically made democratically. All adults participate in the process, and options are deliberated until a general consensus is reached, which may take some time.

World Culture (Cx)[edit]

The world's cultural characteristics are: [ 4 7 3 4 ]

Ael Yael society is centered around the hejal, or "commune", a group of between 40 and 150 individuals, usually related by extended kinship ties. Multiple hejal will occasionally settle an area together as part of larger communities, but hejal are the largest formally organized units of society.

A few Ael poet-storytellers have had their works published by Imperial companies. However, the Ael Yael insistence that all publishing be done without the involvement of the megacorporations has limited the availability of these works.

World Language/s[edit]

A hejal usually features a central aerie, typically on the face of a cliff. Buildings used for storage or industry will be clustered at the base of the aerie. Large tracts of surrounding land are reserved as pasture for herd animals, and as hunting grounds.
