History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Osaka was once a part of the Syzlin Empire, but became independent in a bloody revolution in 778. The collapsing Empire subsequently withdrew from Tsu, and Osakan forces moved in. Tsu welcomed the arrival of Osakan forces, and signed a mutual protection treaty. Between Tsu and the outpost at Bura, Osaka liked to consider itself a multistellar state, and spoke of "Greater Osaka" as a pocket empire. That supposed status, and the possession of a high technology base, gave Osaka a certain prestige in dealing with local non-aligned worlds in the 990s, but nothing ever came of the "empire".

World Starport (St)[edit]

Osaka 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

600,000,000

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Osaka possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Osaka is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
