Klota'tch is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.
- 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.
- As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Kanepak Subsector of Gzirr!k'l Sector.

Mainworld Data[edit]
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Klota'tch is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Klota'tch has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Klota'tch has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Unusually for a Hive Federation world, Klota'tch's name is not Gurvin or Ithkluri in origin but Za'tachshprakh.
World Starport[edit]
Klota'tch 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]
Klota'tch has a population of 70,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).
World Demographics[edit]
- Za'tachk, almost 100%
World Languages[edit]
Urbanization[edit]
Za'tachk feel comfortable and safe in large groups; being alone means nobody can assist them if they are threatened or endangered, and Za'tachk are notoriously timid. Za'tachk cities are crowded, noisy and busy places.
World Technology Level[edit]
Klota'tch 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).
World Government[edit]
Klota'tch is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
World Military[edit]
Renowned for their timidity, Za'tachk make heavy use of drones piloted remotely, from a safe distance.
As a member of the Hive Federation, Klota'tch can theoretically call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces. However, the timid Za'tachk are wary of Ithklur, whose exuberant violence they find alarming.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Klota'tch has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
On Za'tachk worlds, police rarely carry lethal weaponry. Instead, they use a kaath device, which fires an electrical induction beam that stimulates the brain's pleasure centre, rendering those hit helpless for a brief time.
Za'tachk law assumes an individual is innocent until proven guilty. They utilise lawyers to defend or prosecute the accused. Legal trickery is severely penalised.

World Culture[edit]
Za'tachk instinctively seek to escape uncertainty or aggression by achieving "higher ground"; this can be literal, or an appeal to moral establishment, proven theories, or tradition. Culture is structured and stylised, with little initiative.
Za'tachk have no rituals around the consumption of food. There are no standard mealtimes, nor a tendency to gather together specifically to eat. Instead, Za'tachk graze throughout the day, regardless of where they are and what they are doing. Za'tachk always carry food with them as a matter of course and every gathering will include a selection of foods, regardless of the formality.
