Nomi is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a member of the Corona Regnum in the Trux Subsector of Numbis Sector.
  • This world is a colony of, and controlled from, Telouot.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Nomi 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]

Nomi has a population of 8,000,000 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]

Nomi has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Governance of this world is from Telouot.

World Law Level (L)[edit]

Nomi 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. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.

World Timeline[edit]

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

  • Circa -2130: The worlds that will become the Corona Regnum are settled as a Terran cultural region. These Corona Arc colonies make contact with local Minor Races and, in time, the Hivers.
  • -2038: Several Hiver-inhabited worlds in Numbis are occupied by the K'kree, who begin exterminating local carnivore populations.
  • -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War threatens the Hiver community.
    • Reactions among the Terran colonies are mixed.
  • (-1776 to 0): The Long Night.
  • Circa -1550: A reportedly zealous response to K'kree probes leads to the first declared Corona Regnum, as the systems of the Corona unite to stand against the larger threat.
    • The Regnum lasts roughly two centuries before collapsing in on itself.
    • The Gold Union forms at some unknown point on the Numbis-Crucis Margin border. It will in time apparently become the Amalgamation Union.
  • -740: New Human states in Numbis began to expand and conquer, causing the Corona Regnum to reform as a defensive act.
  • -710: Having repulsed attempts on its territory, the Corona Regnum begins conquering systems outside of the traditional Corona.
  • -510: The second Regnum collapses, again under its own weight.
  • The Year 0: Far to spinward, the Third Imperium is founded.
  • 224: A brief Third Corona Regnum is declared, but doesn't survive the death in fleet battle of its founder eight years later.
  • 300-420: The Imperial First Survey.
    • Some ships of the Survey go missing in the region. Fragmentary reports suggest that the Amalgamation ("Gold") Union is destabilizing.
  • 890: The Yeskoth Corporate begins formation around Edienta and Coreeedo.
  • 995 to 1065: The Imperial Second Survey.
    • There is no sign of the Amalgamation Union, aside from common architectural themes in old capital buildings and monuments.
