Native Lifeforms[edit]

Certain carnivorous lifeforms -- and the habitats supporting them -- are protected due to their important role in predation of Hiver larvae. Hiver intelligence is the product of environmental stresses in infancy; avoiding these perils triggers the larva's capacity for consciousness.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

No information yet available.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Noonol 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.

  • A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
  • The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
  • Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.

World Population (P)[edit]

Noonol has a population of 800,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

World Demographics[edit]

  • Hiver, population 95%
  • Other, population 5%

World Languages[edit]

  • Hiver Sign Language
  • Gurvin
    • Non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.

World Government (G)[edit]

Noonol is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

As a member of the Hive Federation, this world can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
