Stellar Data[edit]
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Pacific is an important and rich agricultural world, a member of the Solomani Confederation located in Cluster Subsector of Magyar Sector.
- The world is an administrative center for the subsector.
Pacific is one of the very earthlike planets to which sentient Dolphins were transplanted as partners in colonization by the Terrans. The native life of Pacific was similar to Terra's; so few non-sentient lifeforms were imported. The world's climate supported Humans and Dolphins with no modifications. However, large local predators have presented problems for both species. Much of the effort of the colonists has gone into taming land and sea in the inhabited areas. Other parts of the world have been left wild.
- It is not unusual to find Dolphins serving in the subsector offices. When on land, the Dolphins use imported waldo-equipped suits.
- Pacific is one of the few planets where Dolphins can be found so often on land, and where they hold key positions in government and commercial institutions.
World Starport[edit]
Pacific 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.
Linguistic Topography[edit]
- Anglic
- Delphinic Trinary
- This language, also known as Delphinese, involves various clicks, rasps, chirps, creaks, hoots and whistles. Due to the spread of Dolphins across Charted Space, it has evolved into a multitude of dialects. It can take a Dolphin some time to learn a new dialect; errors are often seen by both parties as humorous.
- For communication with humans and other races, most Dolphins speak ordinary, if flowery, Anglic.
- Vilani
