New Challenge is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires 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.
- It is a member of the Loyal Nineworlds Republic in the Sepik Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.
Description / Astrography & Planetology[edit]

History & Background / Dossier[edit]
The Human inhabitants receive considerable help and support from the other Terrans living on New Challenge -– a population of many thousand Orca.
World Starport[edit]
New Challenge 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.
World Population (P)[edit]
New Challenge has a population of 3,000,000 sophonts (millions).
- This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Government (G)[edit]
New Challenge is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.
The Humans of New Challenge are ruled by their City Managers, who report to a central governing body at the capital, Endeavor.
The Orca are mostly considered to be citizens of the world government, though they maintain their autonomy and co-operate freely rather than out of necessity.
Each system in the Loyal Nineworlds Republic has a locally established system of government and is also represented in the Loyal Nineworlds Senate on Ourland as a voting member of the Republic.
