History and Background[edit]

Paweba is a Bwap-dominated system. It is home to Steelblock, an Imperial prison for psions who have not been lobotomized.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Paweba has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

T5 Sophont Newt Basic.jpg

Paweba has a population of 50,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

  • The population consists of Bwap.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

  • Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Imperium.
  • Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Imperium.
  • Wawa-pakekeke-wawa: The common, precise and bureaucratic language of the Bwaps.

World Government (G)[edit]

Paweba is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

This world's culture is also overseen by the Grand Council of Crèches, or Atapas-atta-wapawab. Most Imperial authorities view the Atapas-atta-wapawab more as an administrative department within Bwap culture than an actual political entity, and so haven't acted against its influence. Some Imperial political scientists feel that the Grand Council's influence makes Government Code D: Religious Dictatorship more appropriate. If so, it's a dictatorship with full public support.

World Law (L)[edit]

Paweba has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).

World Culture[edit]

Bwaps organise themselves into crèches. The crèche is where Bwaps will select a mate, where the eggs will be guarded and tended to, and where the young will be educated by the Satha-a-atta-wapawab (Elders of the Creche). The crèche is also the center of Bwap spirituality, and the focus point of study of the Wapawab (Tree of Life).
