Oyama is a nonindustrial fluid world.
- A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- It is a member of the Wuan Technology Association, part of the Solomani Confederation, located in the Clan Subsector of Magyar Sector.
- This world was colonized by and is controlled from Clan.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
World Starport[edit]
Oyama 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.
Linguistics[edit]
The following languages are used on this world:
- Wuan: A language dialect descended from Chinese (Guanhua), a Sino-Tibetan Dialect.
- Rim Anglic: One of the principal dialects of Anglic, and the official language of the Solomani Confederation. Usually simply called Anglic by the Solomani. It is a second language within the Association.
- Firstspeak: A constructed interlingua based on Anglic, devised by the Solomani Party in order to overcome communication barriers created by the many diverse languages and dialects that have arisen over the centuries within the region since the time of the Terran Confederation. [2]
World Culture[edit]
Wuan culture prioritizes collaboration, cooperation, and efficiency. While the Vilani used social engineering to achieve such goals, the Wuans turned to bioengineering. During the Long Night, the Wuans undertook an ambitious eugenics project, recreating themselves as a distinct Human variant. For each role in Wuan society there is an associated, highly specialized genotype expressly engineered to perform it. While there are dozens of roles and hundreds of variants, the apparent outward conformity of Wuan society can also be unnerving to visitors.
