Kuruutar is a poor, non-agricultural and industrial high-population hellworld with a billion or more sophonts who still struggle to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Hkur! Subsector of Star's End Sector.

• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• This world has a colony at Anghirgrook.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Kuruutar is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Kuruutar has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. 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 Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Kuruutar has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Kuruutar 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Kuruutar has a population of 10,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Technology Level (TL)

Kuruutar 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)

Kuruutar is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Military

No information yet available.

World Law Level (L)

Kuruutar has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

• A release valve of sorts is represented by the colony at Anghirgrook, which has very low levels of control.
