History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Though the planetary code lists the world as non-industrial, it has one major industry: aquaculture. Since the planet is entirely covered with water, the Raas have taken to harvesting the extensive kelp beds which grow in the planet's shallow warm-water seas. Fishing also provides a great deal of the world's income.

Occasionally, Aslan mercenary companies will come to Ouifauhai to train in waterborne and shipboard operations.

World Starport[edit]

Ouifauhai 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[edit]

Ouifauhai has a population of 100,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
  • The population consists of Aslan.

World Languages[edit]

  • Trokh: The universal language of the modern Aslan monoculture.
    • Aslan Languages: Note that some Aslan clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.

Urbanization[edit]

Aslan architecture tends to the organic and the rounded. They favour artistry over efficiency in the design of their buildings -- every Aslan structure is different. Even in mass-produced housing, residents will strive to make their territory uniquely theirs.

  • Since Aslan descend from predators and enjoy open terrain, their buildings often feature both open rooms of great size and a number of concealed rooms, balconies, hidden passageways and hideaways.
