New Libdis is a high-population, industrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water and a billion or more sophonts in population size.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
  • Its economy is rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to rapidly improve barring outside forces.
  • The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Kimson's Stand Subsector of Dark Nebula Sector.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

In -404, a Human state known as the Suleimani Confederation was conquered by the aggressive Aslan Htiokh clan. The Confederation had stood as a bulwark against the Aslan for nearly 600 years and its fall left independent Human populations along the trailing edge of the Hierate concentrated around fortress worlds -- including New Libdis.

New Libdis would eventually become an important member world of the Solomani Confederation.

World Starport (St)[edit]

New Libdis has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

New Libdis has a population of 20,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

World Demographics[edit]

The system population of 21.8 billion includes an Aslanic-speaking majority ruled by a Galanglic-speaking minority.

  • There is a remnant population of some 82 million Aslan.

World Languages[edit]

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

New Libdis possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

New Libdis is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés. The justifications for the original change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

The world government is a supreme council of the Solomani Party.

World Law (L)[edit]

New Libdis has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. Travel documents are frequently checked, and destinations must often be declared when traveling substantial distances across the world.

World Economy[edit]
