History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Otuna was one of the first three major colonies established by the Gurvin upon gaining the jump drive. Its population has long been larger than that of Ofilaq itself.
World Starport[edit]
Otuna 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]
Otuna has a population of 90,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
- The majority are Gurvin, though members of many other species can be found here.
World Languages[edit]
Urbanization[edit]
Surface architecture is generally utilitarian, with little thought for aesthetics. There are plenty of underground areas, as Gurvin evolved from tunnelling den-living animals. Surface buildings are often grouped very closely together, connected via corridors on several levels. Gurvin do not generally separate residential areas from business areas. Their cities also have an unfortunate reputation for significant pollution problems.
World Technology Level[edit]
Otuna possesses a Technology Level of TL–14 or TL-E in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early meson communicators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, early collectors, and advanced fusion plants.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-5.
World Government[edit]
Otuna is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes 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. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
Otuna is a member of the Gurvin Interstellar Democratic Republic. The Republic government has two levels -- the representative committee where legislation and amendments to current legislation are raised, and the board, on which all 46 member worlds, regardless of population, have two directors, selected as they choose to serve terms of 10 years.

World Timeline[edit]
- -3650: The Hivers judge that the Gurvin have matured sufficiently to be allowed outside their home system. They provide them with the jump-1 drive but limit their exploration to the Aghan Subsector.
- -3548: Eager to present a united front to acquire jump-2 drive from the Hivers, the Gurvin form the Gurvin Interstellar Democratic Republic and make an official request to join the nascent Hive Federation and be provided with jump-2. The Hivers declare the Gurvin an "adult" species and agree.
- -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War to coreward threatens the Hiver community, and sees the firming of the Hive Federation into its modern form.
