History & Background / Dossier[edit]

Surveying trailing Langere Sector upon first arriving, pioneering Hivers travelled through Limited, Very Hot, Unsuitable, the slightly more promising Adequate, the much better Pleasant... and then they found Optimum.

In order to preserve their optimal world, the Hivers capped its population at a billion, and directed the subsequent immigration waves to Waap, a garden world jump-2 distance from Optimum.

World Starport[edit]

Optimum has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level[edit]

Optimum possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Optimum 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.
