History & Background / Dossier[edit]

This world is a holding of the Toh Republic. The "Republic" is in fact a corporate polity, its space-based personnel taking advantage of thriving preindustrial communities on several closely-situated planets. Ortho is the largest of their "member" populations by far, and the only non-Human.

A worldwide system of "industry" -- networks of Bronze Age production facilitated by the spacefaring Humans -- provides both "soft" political control and grist for a trade in alien curios to outsiders.

World Starport[edit]

Ortho does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Government[edit]

Ortho is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.
