History & Background (Dossier)

Lodaeegzzuen is a garden world, and its population pride themselves on their preservation of the environment. Outside of the Startown, citizens, scholars, and emissaries keep immaculate personal estates, maintaining an aura of elevated charisma. Travellers to this world report a "high class club ambience". Denizens display a high standard of education and cosmopolitan attitudes, despite lingering accusations of psionic appropriation and questions regarding the disciplines being taught at the Collegia.

Lodaeegzzuen Collegia of Psionics

During the Gashikan Race Wars, librarians and museum curators on Lodaeegzzuen secretly purchased a large collection of texts and psionic devices from Vargr Corsairs who had sacked Ellee. These items were locked away for many centuries but were relatively recently rediscovered and examined in detail. Using them as a foundation, the Urzaeng have been able to restructure, expand, and grant wider access to the Institute. Lodaeegzzuen does not advertise the presence of the Institute despite its prestige; the similarities between the current Collegia curriculum and the ancient Yilean documents have raised questions regarding attitudes towards the Empire of Gashikan, past atrocities, and Yileans in general. Lodaeegzzuen does not produce or advocate the use of psionic equipment or pharmacopeia, but it does not bar the use of such gear.

Lodaeegzzuen cooperates with nearby Ksoegusnoeks to vet applicants to the Collegia. The Collegia has asked the education centers on that world to filter their student bodies for gifted and talented Vargr, preferring quiet but eager seekers of knowledge willing to study in a more basic environment, insulated from the fears and superstitions that more advanced societies can display towards psionics. One criteria that the Collegia upholds is a minimum level of Charisma at the applicant's time of admission. Should a student's Charisma fall,the student is then referred for transfer to Roulnoul, usually on the next outbound starship. Continued education is furthered at the Roulnoul Society of Psions, a rather lower prestige Institute.

World Starport (St)

Lodaeegzzuen 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.

• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)

Lodaeegzzuen has a population of 8,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

World Technology Level (T)

Lodaeegzzuen possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government (G)

Lodaeegzzuen 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.

World Law (L)

Lodaeegzzuen 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. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber 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. Travel documents are frequently checked, and destinations must often be declared when traveling substantial distances across the world.
