Remsen is a rich and agricultural production world with a shirt-sleeve atmosphere and a balance of available surface water. The system supports a population in the millions of sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Antra Subsector of Deneb Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Remsen, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight and the fiefdom of a baron. Both are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.

History & Background (Dossier)

Lurent planetoid ships may be found, trading, in the inner system or in the system's Oort clouds, refuelling.

The governor of Remsen's Startown, Lakash Igillik, lacks the resources to rule effectively. The Startown contains a factory district that is taken over at night by various crime syndicates, which run drugs and prostitution rings and operate black markets. Meanwhile the Startown's main city district is overrun by gang activity and consists of old housing zones, offices and various services.

Colonial development of Remsen had always been limited by the Imperial government. In keeping with the inconsistent policies regarding Chirpers, Remsen's sizable local population of these uncasted Droyne was placed under Imperial protection in the ninth century. Records indicate that the Ministry of Conservation did so to prevent public knowledge of their latent psionic abilities rather than humanitarian concerns. The Chirpers are all found on the world's largest continent of Cuvalin, and offworld settlement is limited to the smaller continent of Dacquirie. The human population is fragmented into small farming collectives scattered across Dacquirie, and are insular and self-absorbed and with little interest in offworld politics.

World Starport (Sp)

Remsen 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 Population (P)

Remsen has a population of 5,000,000 sophonts (millions).

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

Urbanization

Remsen's Startown is divided into a factory district and the city proper. The factory district is the location of the Sacred Light Medical Centre, a large hospital complex run by a consortium of local and offworld religious interests.

World Government (G)

Remsen 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.

World Law Level (L)

Remsen 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.

New Era

The Collapse disrupted this edenic existence, and Vargr refugees have moved in to replace displaced humans. Trade has dried up with the Regency safe, and the world must carefully preserve what advanced technology it has left. An unusual form of offworld assistance has permitted Remsen from collapsing entirely. The local Chirpers are the first population to be subjected to the new Droyne Uplift Program. Droyne kroyloss from Zeen (Deneb 1111) and Ayldem (Trojan Reach 3013) have been on the world, with Regency funding, since 1171 to carry out the Iskyar ritual on selected Chirpers of the right age and character. Most of the kroyloss have bases on Dacquirie, and by housing and supporting them, the local communities receive substantial subsidies from the DUP and safeside Droyne communities. About two million chirpers have been casted or evacuated to safeside, and the Droyne estimate that the entire population will be relocated by 1215.

Languages

• Oynprith
  • Droyne Languages: Oynprith is a ceremonial and ritualistic language apparently universal among Droyne communities. Other languages are used in casual day-to-day affairs.
  • On this world, these other languages may include Anglic and Vilani (language).
