Jump map from Travellermap.com

Maaaa is a poor, nonindustrial world.

• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• This world has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Valaar Subsector of Blaskon Sector.

• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Maaaa 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.

History & Background (Dossier)

This is the Hive Federation administrative capital for the region, including most notably the Valaar Association sub-polity.

World Starport (Sp)

Maaaa 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.

• A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
• The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
• Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.

World Population (P)

Maaaa has a population of 900,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics

Hiver and Daari.

World Languages

• Hiver Sign Language
• Gurvin
  • Daari locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.

Urbanization

Hiver nests within a city are usually small all-Hiver areas, with districts between them populated here by Daari. Heavy goods typically move underground through tunnels. Little of this activity is seen at surface level and most industry is buried in the base of structures.

World Government (G)

Maaaa is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

World Military

As a member of the Hive Federation, Maaaa can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.

World Law Level (L)
