Qriensh Jdazh is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the String of Pearls Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been partially surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Qriensh Jdazh is tidally locked to its primary star.

• It experiences libration - a regular wobble - as it orbits, causing the star to move in the sky.

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Qriensh Jdazh is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Qriensh Jdazh has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences moderate temperatures within the narrow twilight zone.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Qriensh Jdazh has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

The planet is very rocky and craggy, with many active volcanoes, each surrounded by an ash plain. There are seven major dry basins, surrounded by mountains and ravines caused by plate movements.

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

The population harvest some unusual native lifeforms to extract various chemicals.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Qriensh Jdazh has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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)

Qriensh Jdazh has a population of 60,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

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

World Technology Level (T)

Qriensh Jdazh possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Qriensh Jdazh has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

Each of the seven basins has a government of its own, most being corporate in nature. The only cooperation between the governments is to pursue those who try to slip in unnoticed at harvest time. The governments sometimes employ offworlders as workers, particularly those with technical skills. At other times, they might try to slip saboteurs into the workforce of their competitors.

World Law (L)

Qriensh Jdazh has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture

The world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.
