History & Background (Dossier)

Capital of would-be interstellar power the Nullian League, this world is situated on the major trade route known as Beyerly's Path, which reaches across the sector to the Council of Leh Perash.

World Starport

Nullia 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.

• The starport supports an associated Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Nullia has a population of 5,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
• The population consists of Nullians.

World Demographics

Nullia is a Human world, comprised overwhelmingly of an ethnic group which identifies itself as Nullian and claims to be a Minor Human Race. While internal genetic assays have undoubtably been done given the technology base and governing history of the world, the truth of the matter is not known to outsiders. Observable evidence, mostly linguistic and genetic, does suggest that some Vilani and Solomani elements exist in the populace, but the degree is unknown.

World Language/s

World Technology Level

Nullia possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• 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.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-4.

World Government

Nullia 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 This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés.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.

World Military

World Law (L)

Nullia has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction.

Historical Data

The Nullians began to show their ambition in 992. The Solomani Rim War created an increased market for Hiver technologies, the source of the demand being advancing Imperial fleets. This meant that the Hiver trade connection had to be redirected from a coreward route to a spin-rimward route. The mercantile houses of Nullia foresaw this change and espoused the adoption of a trading league that featured low tariffs and the safe transit of trade goods.

At the turn of the 12th Century Imperial, a small but well organized "hawkish" faction within the League made a bid for power, taking advantage of turmoil within Ral Ranta space by insisting that the League had to act, if only in self-defense -- if Ral Ranta dissolved into civil war, it was conceivable that rogue military units would split off and begin wreaking havoc in neighbouring space. Proponents suggested that the League begin to coordinate its activities to protect against this potential threat. Almost as important was the sudden and aggressive growth of the Anubian Trade Coalition, which was able to pull off a string of major trading coups from 1080 to 1100. The League hawks claimed that the ATC had begun to wage an undeclared economic war against the Nullian League, which merchants were willing to believe as they saw trade shift away from Beyerly's Path to the Bruia Diagonal and Alike Run.
