Othrerta is a rich, nonindustrial world.

  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
  • It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Hive Subsector of Ricenden Sector.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Certain carnivorous lifeforms -- and the habitats supporting them -- are protected due to their important role in predation of Hiver larvae. Hiver intelligence is the product of environmental stresses in infancy; avoiding these perils triggers the larva's capacity for consciousness.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Military Operations Club of Othrerta is a Topical Club interested in the effectiveness and elegance of military action. It deliberates on the cleverness of a given client in using mercenaries, as opposed to some other way of obtaining a result, and the effectiveness of the action itself. The Military Operations Club of Othrerta is not a licensing agency or a governing body for the use of mercenaries, it is essentially an awards committee.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Othrerta 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 Population (P)[edit]

Othrerta has a population of 8,000,000 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]

  • Hiver, population 95%
  • Other, population 5%

World Languages[edit]

  • Hiver Sign Language
  • Gurvin
    • Non-Hiver locals will often speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.

Urbanization[edit]

Hivers are fond of rounded shapes, domes, spheres and non-Euclidian architecture. This is ironic in that many schools of Hiver starship construction are focused around the opposite -- extremely square, boxy ships.

  • Hivers like small, cramped domiciles with defined spaces and solid walls. Much of a Hiver nest is subterranean.
  • Pet Snohl may be found in the deeper nests.

World Government (G)[edit]

Othrerta 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.

World Military[edit]

As a member of the Hive Federation, Othrerta can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
