Jump map from Travellermap.com

Nape is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and are both non-agricultural and nonindustrial in nature.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• They require extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• These worldlets have very few prospect for economic expansion.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shumisdi Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.

History & Background

No information yet available.

Imperial Imperial Landed Nobility

Nape, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.

History-Era: New Era

Another doomed society in which resources are precious, Nape contends with a difficult situation: producing air and water in an asteroid community with a declining tech level.

• Unfortunately, local efforts are not meeting the challenge; the technology is not sufficient. To hold off what seems to be the community’s inevitable demise, Nape’s leadership is instituting a "100% biomass reclamation program." This requires all materials, even deceased citizens, to be recycled to preserve Nape’s resources.
• Resistance to the program is growing, as the restrictions on resources make emigration attempts all but impossible; attempts to illegally tap the water-holding tanks near the asteroid‘s core are increasing. The deadly reprisals provide more bodies for the water stills, and tensions are rising.
