Khad Khabar is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Grand Duchy of Stoner in the Kraxin Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.

World Starport

Khad Khabar 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.

In the 990s, Khad Khabar had a B-class starport facility; it was downgraded at some point over the next century.

Urbanization

The Downport (Khabrai Central) is situated at the capital city of Khabrai, a semi-subterranean conurbation with some 32 million inhabitants. As well as the seat of planetary government, Khabrai is the only large concentration of high-tech equipment (brought in from offworld) and the centre of the world’s ground defense nexus.

World Technology Level

Khad Khabar possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
  • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

The great climate-controlled cities of Khad Khabar were constructed to a higher TL. However, lack of investment over the years has resulted in a general decline in technical capability. Most high-tech items are now imported from Stoner itself.

World Government

The world's 700 million inhabitants are ruled by a planetary governor appointed by the Grand Duke of Stoner, and her advisory council, all of whom are elected from the general populace and specially trained for their role. Their decisions are implemented by an unusually effective bureaucratic office, with all major issues overseen by Ducal Overseers reporting to the court of the Grand Duke.

World Military

The Grand Duchy of Stoner has a single armed force, the Ducal Household, which encompasses ground troops, security personnel, naval forces, emergency services, and royal couriers.

World Economy

Khad Khabar produces raw materials, mainly metals and industrial minerals. These undergo first-stage refinement here before being shipped to the high-tech factories of Stoner.
