Mensure is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- 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.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Osiris Deep Subsector of Ley Sector.

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Plentiful and unique native life exists here. Great forests and vast swamps make some regions unsuitable for human habitation. The local flora and fauna are strange enough that Imperial scientists have made the long trip out to Mensure on many occasions. Each trip finds yet more unknown species.
History & Background / Dossier[edit]

World Starport[edit]
Mensure 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 Technology Level[edit]
Mensure 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[edit]
Mensure is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
Given that the exotic atmosphere is harmful by Humans, it is no surprise that society is rigidly controlled. Overall authority rests with the High King, who is represented by Citykings and their subordinates. The positions of Cityking and High King are sacrificial roles. A person (who despite the title can be of either sex) rules for a time, then is ritually killed.

Urbanization[edit]
Construction on Mensure uses a lot of natural materials and processes, as does its atmosphere processing. The locals have learned to use local plant life to provide many of the benefits of hard technology, giving their cities a strangely "organic" look.
