History & Background (Dossier)

Due to proximity to the industrial center of Oifuerr (Daibei 1637), the Lancelot shipyards have done significant Starship construction using high-tech robots.

World Starport (Sp)

Lancelot has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• The Solomani Starport Authority employee population is approximately 2,895 sophonts.

World Population (P)

Lancelot has a population of 1,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
• This world has a population of approximately 6,000 sophonts.

World Demographics

• Humaniti, population 100%

Linguistic Topography

World Government (G)

Lancelot is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law Level (L)

Lancelot has a moderate 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 except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Historical Data

This world was heavily contested during the Solomani Rim War. Heavy fighting between major Solomani Fleet elements and Imperial Colonial Squadrons based at the high population worlds of Nu Polis, Karukhi, Kimel and Oifuerr raged along the Nu Polis Run in the opening phase of the war. Nu Polis itself fell to the Solomani in savage fighting in 992. The remaining worlds of the trace changed hands numerous times until Imperial Fleet reinforcements began to arrive from deeper in the Domain of Ilelish. Nu Polis itself was liberated by Imperial forces in 997.

Following the war, the Archduke of the Domain of Ilelish officially renamed the Nu Polis Run the Nu Polis Rampart in honour of the Colonial Fleets' sacrifices.
