Marriot is a poor, non-agricultural and pre-industrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• This world is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a world working towards greater industrial capability, but currently lacks an adequate population to expand its industrial sector.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Siridor Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• It is a part of the Siridor Trace.
• It is considered a member of the Wilder Stars.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Marriot is a binary star system.

• The primary is an orange main sequence named Tann.
• The secondary is a red subdwarf named Polt.

Marriot has two stars in the star system.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld, orbiting the primary star.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds. Three orbit the primary star, two orbit the secondary star.
• x3 planetoid belts. One orbits the primary star, two orbit the secondary star.
• x1 gas giant, orbiting the primary star.

Extended system data is available.

Mainworld Data

Marriot orbits within the habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Marriot 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)

Marriot 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.

• It experiences generally moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Marriot has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native lifeforms

Primitive native life, mainly consisting of cyanobacteria parallels and organic slimes. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

The system's secondary star experiences periodic bouts of flare activity, which causes interference, strange tones and noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.

• During major outbursts of flare activity radiation levels within its system are dangerously high.
• Exposure to elevated radiation levels causes serious health issues and may damage unshielded electronic devices.

Marriot is likely to be the next military target of the Korsumug Empire.

• The system is being fortified against Jaibok invasion. The aggressive Shadow Hoarde of the Imperial Korsumug Navy, under Grand Commodore Igaklin, has conducted raids here.

World Starport

Marriot has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population

• 60,000,000

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly spoken language within the system is Siri, a local dialect of Galanglic.

World Technology Level

Marriot possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government

Marriot is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

World Law

Marriot has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Military

In excess of 6 million troops under arms, organized into several large field armies.

• Large numbers of mercenaries and starmercs are present in the system.
• Military outposts within the system are on high alert.

World Economy

• Resources 7 (Few)
• Labor 6 (Hundreds of thousands)
• Infrastructure 7 (Generally available)
• Efficiency +1 (Above average)
