History and background

A small trade port, known as "Death and Glory", is the only permanent population on the surface.

Lumnu had been a prosperous colony during the First Imperium and throughout the Long Night. In –477 the Aakhri Empire conquered the system and enslaved its people. Thousands of Lumnu were sent back to Argi to become bondsmen. A ruling class of Aakhri ruled over the planet for hundreds of years until finally overthrown by a slave revolt. In -10 Lumnu declared itself a free planet once more only for the Imperium to arrive in 40 and subjugate the planet again.

The population began to die of a mysterious plague in 366 which caused severe physical mutation. The planet was quarantined. It was discovered that victims removed from the planet stopped mutating (though they were unable to be cured) and appeared to no longer carry any traces of the plague.

In 369 the decision was made to evacuate the planet completely. Scientists are still unable to find a reason for Lumnuan Plague, though it appears to be still active on the surface. Today, various salvage companies risk the surface in full body armour salvaging items from the old cities.

World Starport (St)

Lumnu 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)

Lumnu has a population of 70 sophonts (tens).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without significant outside assistance. This may represent a transient population such as the crew of a starship, the final survivors of a dying colony, an advance team setting up to receive colonists, or a small outpost where establishing a colony is not the primary objective.
• There are no permanent residents remaining on the planetary surface outside of a small trading post.

World Technology Level (T)

Lumnu possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Lumnu has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Law (L)

Lumnu 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. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
