Nichekoralo is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and is also a low-population vacuum environment with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting 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.
  • It is a member of the Gerontocracy of Ormine in the Akhlare Subsector of Dark Nebula Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Ormine settlements here have the highest tech level in the subsector; this is also the Ormines' most sophisticated starport.

The technology needed to sustain the settlements here is provided by the Solomani, in their "advisory" role to the Ormine gerontocrats.

World Starport[edit]

Nichekoralo has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Nichekoralo has a population of 6,000 sophonts (thousands).

  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
  • The population consists entirely of Ormine.

World Languages[edit]

World Government[edit]

Nichekoralo is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. 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.

World Timeline[edit]

  • -1884: The Solomani (Terrans) make First Contact with the Ormine.
  • -1870s: After years of laborious negotiations, the Terrans are able to reach a trade agreement giving the Ormine access to jump drives and other early stellar technology.
  • -1082: The aggressive Htiokh clan of Aslan conquer the Human world of Godoro, later known as Tenarna, killing all Humans there. The Godoro Massacre is a wake-up to all nearby Human (and allied) worlds, and in response mutual defence alliances and new federations are formed; the Ormine settlements are formally incorporated into the current Gerontocracy of Ormine.
