Numkii is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • It is a member of the Hegemony of Lorean in the Kedepar Subsector of Star's End Sector.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Numkii has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

Numkii has a population of 1,000,000 sophonts (millions).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics[edit]

  • Arzula Humaniti
    • The Arzula are dominantly Vilani in ancestry, with strong 'minor notes' of Solomani Slavic and Arabic heritages.

World Languages[edit]

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Numkii possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

World Government (G)[edit]

Numkii is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Culture[edit]

Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of

  • A Vilani conformity and caution,
  • A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
  • A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.
