Jump map from Travellermap.com

Oceanbound 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 an Inyx-dominated world in the Estoc Subsector of Banners Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

This world is part of the Estoc Spiral.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Oceanbound 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)

Oceanbound has a population of 600,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

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

World Demographics

• 40% of the population are Dolphin, including free employees, indentured servants, and slaves.
  • Inyx slaveholding has led to some bad publicity. They are usually careful, however, not to offend alien sensibilities. Part of this policy is ensuring that slaves are not from the dominant species in any given region; thus, in this Aslan-dominated area, Dolphin or Human slaves are favoured (the reverse holds true in Human-dominant subsectors).
• 60% of the population are Inyx.

Urbanization

Inyx live in cities constructed from genetically engineered coral.

• Inyx construction coral comes in many varieties, including luminescent species that produce or carry electrical currents and which can be used as power conduits. Other species secrete metals, with carefully managed internal impurities so they function as electrical circuit boards.
• Inyx buildings are usually one-story structures that follow a radial or spiral pattern, with important control centers or offices in the center.

World Technology Level

Oceanbound possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government

Oceanbound is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
