History & Background / Dossier[edit]

This important world has been the centre of its own trade alliance, a colony of the Sydymic Empire, and most recently an independent world enabling exchange between Ley Sector and Gateway Sector. Phoniwt has cordial relations with many of its neighbors and exerts considerable economic influence, but doesn't pursue formal political power. Phoniwt maintains trade links through the world of Far Portal in Gateway Sector to the Galian Federation.

World Starport[edit]

Phoniwt 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 Technology Level[edit]

Phoniwt possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Phoniwt is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is 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. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.

Phoniwt society is over-bureaucratized and beset by internal politics, but despite this the world remains an important trade and industrial centre.
