Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Nng Min Sa is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Nng Min Sa has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Nng Min Sa has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The system is named in the primary language of the Akeed. "Nng Min Sa" is the attempted translation of an Akeed whistle.

This world hosts the vast majority of the population of the Akeena Union, 70 billion people in all. 90% are Akeed, the rest drawn from several races, most commonly Humaniti.

As the industrial giant as well as the population centre of the Union, Nng Min Sa is a system of great importance.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Nng Min Sa 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]

Nng Min Sa has a population of 70,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

World Military[edit]

The Akeena Union has a small fleet of fairly advanced Jump-2 vessels. The Akeed are not expansionist, and their vessels are intended to operate on interior lines of communication. Small tripwire squadrons are stationed here, with the main fleet elements at Akeen.

  • Actual capabilities and armament of Union vessels are unknown to outsiders.

World Law (L)[edit]

Nng Min Sa has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]

Little is known about the Akeed society, as most visitors to their worlds interact with Humans for the most part. Still, Akeed are known as pleasant, gregarious people. They settle disputes by long, amiable arguments and pleasant wit.
