Nesdo is a poor, low-population hellworld with a population less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • It is a member of the Sylean Worlds, a cultural region and full member state of the Third Imperium in the Core Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Syleans.
  • Less than 10% of the population is composed of other human and non-human sophonts.
  • This world was once known as Kiiri.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Nesdo has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:

World Military[edit]

As with all of the Sylean Worlds save Capital and Yirsh Poy, Nesdo is demilitarised and has been since the Civil War.

World Law (L)[edit]

Nesdo 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.

Imperial law is almost completely compatible with the Syleans' Maarist religious law. Sylean marriage customs (which include polygamy and concubinage) are the most likely points of contention. Syleans also come into frequent conflict with strong intellectual-property laws in other Imperial cultures.

World Culture[edit]

The major Sylean religion is Maar Zon, centered on the holy book, the Maar Ki Zon.
