History & Background / Dossier

Cooperating Multinational World

World Starport

Katahdin has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

The KatahDin Highport is co-operated by the 2 planetary nations.

Each nation maintains its own primary and secondary downports.

World Technology Level

Katahdin possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• 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-3.

World Government

Katahdin has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

Each continent is its own nation, and operates its own government.

• People's Republic of Katah (Parliamentary Republic)
• Kingdom of Din (Constitutional Monarchy)

World Law Level

Katahdin 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.

World Military

Both nations maintain a planet-size army and wet navy, but co-operate the Highport and system defense through the KatahDin System Defense Agency.

World Economy

KatahDin has a full-fledged world economy with fully developed industries.

World Culture

• Heterogeneity: Discordant
• Acceptance: Xenophilic
• Strangeness: Very confusing
• Symbols: Abstract

Observation: This world is wild. Every city seems to have its own vibe. Different pets in every region. The restaurants and bars are a continuing adventure. I swear, if it wasn't for the sliths, I might eventually settle here.

Urbanization

Cities host a huge variety of architectures, some based on advanced forms of Tech-A structures, some modern Tech-C structures, and the national capitols have advanced megarcologies that were reputably inspired by the Vilani Capitol structures.
