Mainworld Data

Rhylanor is a smallish, normal climate planet with a very thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere located in a cluster of three star systems just off the Spinward Main. As such it provides a useful short cut for high-Jump vessels and Xboats but is inaccessible to most commercial ships. The majority of traffic into Rhylanor comes via the Celepina-Jae Tellona link or from Fulacin to Porozlo.

It orbits within the star's Habitable Zone, receiving moderate levels of stellar energy.

Orbital Characteristics:

• Orbital Distance: 0.36 AU
• Orbital Period: 118.9 standard days
• Rotational Period: 11.89 standard days (285.4 standard hours) (Retrograde)
• Axial Tilt: 15°
• Average Surface Temperature: 21.3°C

Rhylanor occupies the innermost orbit of its star system, at a distance of 0.36 AU from its primary, with an orbital period of about 118.9 standard days. Both the "Hot" (H₊₁) and "Inferno"/Inner System regions of the system lie to starward of all of the standard orbits occupied by most star-system configurations. Rhylanor's axis is tilted to the plane of its orbit by approximately 15°. Its retrograde rotational period of 11.89 standard days causes Rhylanor to make exactly ten rotations per revolution about its sun. From the vantage point of Rhylanor's surface, the sun rises in the west and travels eastward, completing one local day every 285.4 standard hours, sunrise to sunrise.

• (Editor's Note: The original data can be found here).

Mainworld Size (S)

Rhylanor is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

• Rhylanor has a diameter of about 6400 km, and has a large, dense core, resulting in a surface gravity of about 0.50g. Rhylanor's weak natural gravity is augmented in urban areas by immense artificial gravity grids. Rhylanori technology also defies the planet's weak planetary electromagnetism for the purpose of maintaining its maglev public transportation network. EMP generators are maintained at intervals along the maglev public transportation web. The generators enable maglev to operate on the planet despite Rhylanor's weak natural electromagnetism.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Rhylanor has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• Rhylanor has an N₂ / O₂ atmosphere with a surface atmospheric pressure of about 0.4 atm. The very thin atmosphere of Rhylanor freely admits stellar radiation from Icarus, making the planet typically hot, averaging 21.3 degrees C. The atmosphere and axial tilt of Rhylanor (15 degrees) combined with its slow relative rotation, however, result in large daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Because of these extremes, nearly all Rhylanori own compressors, and frequently carry and use them if they must go outside the pressure-domed cities and enclosures. Those who engage in prolonged exposure to the elements own vacc suits and PLSS systems.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Rhylanor 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. Rhylanor's seas support undersea settlements whose main business is the distillation of valuable ore products that seep forth from Rhylanor's multitude of undersea vents.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

The surface of Rhylanor presents a slate and obsidian color pattern to the observer from orbit due to its rocky composition and mineral-rich oceans, relieved intermittently by immense amber and brown splotches of urban sprawl in various places along the surface. Several impact craters are in evidence on the continents around the planetary surface. One significant crater lies close to the planetary equator, which serves as the location of a "primitive" Llellewyloly colony. One of the primary mountain peaks on Rhylanor is known as Mount Whatsit (a.k.a. "Zhitar").

Lifeform

Kian

Rhylanor has primitive multi-celled native life (...similar to lichens of a brownish-grey to dark coloration) which maintains some free oxygen in the atmosphere, though it is not enough for humans to breathe without mechanical assistance. Other autotrophic life or foliage that has been transplanted to Rhylanor tends to darker colorations (such as dark green-black or charcoal / brown-black), as these pigmentations are common among life that thrives by utilizing the radiant energy of stars that emit primarily in the infra-red wavelengths, such as Rhylanor's M-type primary.

A large variety of imported flora and fauna inhabit the world. Among these are Kian, native to Prilissa in Trin's Veil Subsector.

World Dossier

Rhylanor is a member world of the Third Imperium.

Notes of Interest:

• Rhylanor is the birthplace of Olav hault-Plankwell -- the first of the Emperors of the Flag. As Grand Admiral of the Marches, Olav led the March Fleet against the Outworld Coalition in the First Frontier War and subsequently marched upon Capital with his fleets upon the conclusion of the War to seize the Iridium Throne, beginning the period known as the Emperors of the Flag and the start of the Imperial Civil War.

• Rhylanor is also the birthplace of Duchess Arbellatra Khatami Alkhalikoii, 3rd Duchess of Rhylanor. As Grand Admiral of the Marches during the Second Frontier War, Arbellatra brought an end to the Second Frontier War, subsequently allowing her in her turn to march upon Capital and bring an end to the concurrent Imperial Civil War as well, leading to her appointment as Regent of the Third Imperium, and later as 1st Emperor of the Alkhalikoi dynasty.

Imperial Landed Nobility (N)

Rhylanor, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• This world is the fiefdom of an Imperial Subsector Duke: His/Her Grace the Duke of Rhylanor, who also conducts affairs regarding the entire subsector at the Interstellar and Imperial level.
• It contains the fiefdom of an Imperial Count: His/Her Lordship the Count of Rhylanor
• It contains the estate of an Imperial Knight: The Honourable Knight of Rhylanor, the Imperial representative to the world.

See: Nobles of Rhylanor

• Rhylanor is the center of the local Subsector Government.
• Rhylanor controls the world Kegena as a colonial intersystem possession.

World Starport (St)

Rhylanor has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

While the modern Rhylanor Highport is extensive and sees major traffic, the older Stanford-torus style highport that was built in the year 606 (known affectionately as "Old Station" to locals) still sees its fair share of visitors and through-traffic.

Rhylanor Highport

The modern Rhylanor Highport is a self-sufficient sealed habitat sustained by more than 20 bio-domes which maintain its atmosphere and contain sufficient hydroponics bays to support the entire indigenous population as well as livestock. While the majority of the facility is maintained to accommodate human and human-like biological needs, the great diversity of travellers who pass through the station has resulted in the maintenance of a number of Alternate Atmosphere Districts, collectively known as the "Alien Quarter". One of the most famous landmarks on Rhylanor Highport is the "Admiral's Fountain" - an enormous water-spout that issues from the Rhylanor Shipping Tower. The spray dissipates into a fine mist almost 2 km wide which catches the rays of the rising sun over the planetary horizon below, creating an iridescent rainbow that locals refer to as "the Jewels of Rhylanor".

Rhylanor "Old Station" Highport
Rhylanor "Old Station" Highport, on the other hand, is of a dual-torus construction with an overall diameter for each "wheel" of 2100 meters, and a rim-diameter of 150 meters. One of the two tori is the main habitat (including the approximately 500 shops and businesses of Old Station's famous "Main Concourse" spanning four separate levels), while the other torus is given over to the agricultural needs of the station.

Rhylanor Downport
While the main Rhylanor Highport is an immense orbital city, Rhylanor Down is, by comparison, a meager affair occupying only several square kilometers, and its associated Startown is a somewhat "scruffy" place filled with those who were unsuccessful in their attempts to "strike it big".

» The Rhylanor Downport is located at the Rhylanor Arcology.

» The Kharginir Arcology and Joliswell Arcology each maintain their own local Spaceports.

» The Kikhimaa City arcology maintains its own small Spaceport.

Point of Interest: Naval Base

Rhylanor has an important Naval Base. The subsector fleet has its headquarters at this facility, and there is a very powerful system squadron. Rhylanor also boasts a large naval academy where young officers-to-be undergo their education and training.

The Rhylanor naval base does not build starships. The Rhylanor yard maintains and modifies fleet vessels including prototypes or experimental variants.

Prior to the Fifth Frontier War, the naval base hosted the 212th Fleet. During the war, the fleet was used to defend the Jewell Subsector and subsequently moved there. After the war, the 23rd Fleet was moved to Rhylanor from the Lanth Subsector.

Point of Interest: Scout Base

Rhylanor also has a large Scout Base that acts as a communications depot for the Xboat routes as well as a regional planning and command center. The facility is quite extensive and contains training facilities for some of the more specialized scout roles.

• An X-Boat route runs through the Rhylanor system between Equus and Jae Tellona.

Point of Interest: Warships' Graveyard

During the Fifth Frontier War Rhylanor was the site of several critical naval battles between the Imperial and Zhodani fleets. The Rhylanor system still contains relics of the climactic battle, in the form of the Warships Graveyard, where the shattered hulks of disabled vessels were gathered together by tugs in order to prevent their being a hazard to navigation. The whole graveyard is classified as a red zone, and patrolled to prevent any but licensed salvage operatives from entering. The area is designated as a war grave by both Zhodani and Imperial authorities.

Rhylanor is also a center for industry, commerce and education. The Rhylanor Institute of Technology is one of the most prominent hard-science and technological-research institutions in the entire Imperium, with notable accolades in the fields of robotics and computer engineering and heuristics. It is almost certainly the foremost such facility this side of Corridor Sector. The Rhylanor Polytechnic also provides advanced technical education in a number of technology-related fields. The University of Rhylanor boasts a strong hard science and technical curriculum among its many varied and diverse degree programs but is principally a planetary university serving the needs of the local citizenry of Rhylanor. Rhylanor is also home to both the prestigious Imperial University of Rhylanor and to Plankwell University. The Imperial Museum of Rhylanor is also a significant repository of historical and archaeological artifacts, and a center of research.

Rhylanor is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

Rhylanor is nominally headed by a monarch (who is also usually an Imperial ceremonial noble), who acts as ceremonial head of state. The monarch is not an absolute ruler and operates within strict constitutional guidelines, consulting with his Privy Council whose members are drawn from the planet’s higher nobility. His power is limited by the authority of the other branches of Rhylanor's government.

Rhylanor's government primarily consists of two groups, both of which are filled with Rhylanor's nobles. Membership in the government is either handed down to the oldest child in a noble family after the death of the parent, or granted by elevation due to meritorious service or achievement.

One group is known as the "Three Councils"·, which make laws and determine the guilt or innocence of lawbreakers. Each council is in charge of one area of law. The Council of Rhylanor makes all local laws. The Council of Space makes all laws concerning visitors to the planet and relations of the planetary government to the Imperium and other worlds. The Council of Revenue sets taxes. The planet’s High Court is a small council (drawn from the membership of the Three Councils) whose members inherit their posts. It consists of seven of the highest planetary nobles. These seven Law Lords rule on the most important cases, and also oversee all lower courts for the planet.

The second main group in Rhylanor's government, performing the executive function, is known as the ·"Little Council". Its fifteen members each oversee the activities of the government in one of fifteen administrative areas. Thus separate police and armed forces are organized differently in each area, although all must enforce the same laws set by the Three Councils.

The current government is relatively new to Rhylanor, the result of a constitutional convention held in 1056.

• Rhylanor controls the world Kegena as a colonial intersystem possession.

World Law (L)

Rhylanor has a moderate law 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. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Population (P)

Rhylanor has a population of 8,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

A significant population of Llellewyloly exists on this world, living out in the open very-thin atmosphere environment somewhat apart from the rest of the sophont-population of the world as a "shadow-population" and comprising approximately 40% of the total world population (roughly 2.5 billion individuals). The remaining 60% of the population (approximately 6.5 billion individuals) consists of humans and other non-human sophonts.

World Residents of Note

• Lord Hollis, the administrative assistant to Duke Leonard Stephanos Kirgashii of Rhylanor, resides at the Ducal estate.
• The Tukera Lines Rhylanor Subsector Chief, Roald Bululo, has his residence in Liduka.
• Doctor Gnoskh is an acclaimed Professor of Astrophysics at the Rhylanor Polytechnic.
• Doctor Theodor Krenstein is an acclaimed Professor of Robotics and Cybernetics at the Rhylanor Institute of Technology.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are most commonly heard:

• Riftian Galanglic: A regional dialect of one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Hulloyuo-co: A synthetic language trilled and whistled by the Llellewyloly.
• Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Local Celitc Dialects: (Derived from some of the early settlers of Rhylanor and the local region that have survived locally in some areas):

» Kheilig(h) / Kehlish: Mixed Brythonic-Goidhellic-derived dialect(s) of the local region.

» Khemricg: A Brythonic-derived dialect of the local region.

World Culture (Cx)

• Heterogenity: 7 (discordant)
• Acceptance: D (very xenophilic)
• Strangeness: 3 (somewhat typical)
• Symbols: D (very abstract)

Rhylanor has a fairly moderate society with liberal laws; most citizens view their government as a meritocracy. Entry to the world's ruling elite is most commonly gained through power and achievement. Elevation for achievement is generally linked with service to the Imperium or to Rhylanor's armed forces, though accomplishments in other areas such as science or entertainment are also rewarded in this way. Rhylanor's economy is relatively free, and taxes are low. With a law level of 4, inhabitants of Rhylanor live peaceful lives. Police are occasionally visible, but citizens are not harassed and have nothing to fear from governmental excesses.

World Arts

Rhylanor has a thriving art community. Of particular preference and popularity are live theater and non-digitized performances. The computerized strategy game called Dhage was originally developed on Rhylanor in the sixth century.

Urbanization

Most of Rhylanor's population live in arcologies (either pressure-dome cities or underground habitats), though many of these are built into hills and mountainsides. Major settlements on Rhylanor include:

• Rhylanor Arcology (including Rhylanor Down (Main) Starport and "Startown")
• Hhagirnur Arcology (aka "Kharginir" Arcology)
• Joliswell Arcology
• Kikhimaa City (an arcology with its own small spaceport)
• Leba
• Liduka
• Hegra
• Panish

The Hhagirnur Arcology is famous as the birthplace of Grand Admiral Olav hault-Plankwell, who later ascended to the Imperial Throne as Emperor Olav I, 15th Emperor of the Imperium and first of the Emperors of the Flag.

The Llellewyloly settlements on Rhylanor generally prefer the open-air very-thin atmosphere environment. Llellewyloly settlements include:

• Llynhonnaulloely
• Llygolyballondoor
• Gweunyllgoontolygololy
• Baradwysraidantyllew

• Primitivist Llellewyloly Reserve: A Llellewyloly "primitivist" colony is located in an impact crater at about 30^o north latitude and is known to human locals as the "Dandy Reserve". This colony preserves the culture of the original Llellewyloly Colony that thrived on Rhylanor when it was first settled by Humans. No one is quite sure how long the Llellewyloly (who are indigenous to Junidy) have lived on Rhylanor or when they first arrived, or how they got there.

History & Background

The world of Rhylanor was first officially settled by Imperial colonists during the early waves of Imperial settlement in the Spinward Marches Sector in the 300s, becoming an Imperial Client State not long afterward and completely absorbed as a full Imperial member world by ca 400. The first settlers who arrived on Rhylanor discovered the presence of a non-native sophont species already present on-world at a primitive level of technological development that were later discovered to be the minor race known as the Llellewyloly of Junidy that were native to that same world. As the Llellewyloly of Junidy and Rhylanor were both nearly identical primitive minor races when first contacted, no one was quite sure when the Llellewyloly had initially arrived on Rhylanor or by what means they had got there. Nevertheless, since Llellewyloly preferred the natural conditions provided by the open environment of Rhylanor as compared to the tolerances of Humaniti and similar sophonts, Imperial settlement of the world occurred alongside but apart from the Llelleweloly enclaves in separate regions, the two peoples maintaining distinct side-by-side cultures that did not overlap or significantly interact. In the ensuing centuries with recontact between the Junidian and Rhylanorian branches of the Llellewyloly species, many Llellewyloly have migrated to the Rhylanor outback and colonized the surface regions considered inhospitable to unaided Humaniti, forming a substantial shadow-culture on Rhylanor alongside the more familiar and mainstream cultures of Humaniti and similar sophonts who live under the pressure-domed cities and arcologies of the world. The enduring mystery of the original primitivist Llellewyloly presence on Rhylanor is one that puzzles paleosophontologists to the present day.

Rhylanor was first charted in detail by Imperial astrographers of the Imperial Grand Survey (IGS) during the years of the Imperial First Survey between 300 and 420. By this time Rhylanor had come under the jurisdiction and oversight of the Duchy of Mora. As colonization into the Spinward Frontier continued, Emperor Jerome reorganized the Marches in 522, for the first time creating the independent Duchy of Rhylanor at the same time as the creation of several other Spinward Duchies, raising the 3rd Baron Alkhalikoi of Rhylanor to be the 1st Duke of the 1st Creation of the Dukes of Rhylanor.

During the First Frontier War Grand Admiral of the Marches Olav hault-Plankwell led the March Fleet against the Outworld Coalition of the Zhodani Consulate and their Vargr allies, stemming the tide of the invaders advance into Imperial territory. At the Battle of Rhylanor Duchess Arbellatra Khatami Alkhalikoii, 3rd Duchess of Rhylanor, commanded the system defenses, receiving her commission as a Captain in the Imperial Navy from Grand Admiral hault-Plankwell himself after the battle. Grand Admiral hault-Plankwell eventually smashed the gathered Zhodani/Vargr expeditionary fleet in the climactic Battle of Zivije, crippling the Zhodani capability to prosecute the war fully but also inflicting enough losses on the Imperial squadrons to force a stalemate. The negotiated armistice in 604 allowed the Imperium to claim a large amount of previously unincorporated territory to replace the parts of Cronor Subsector ceded to the Zhodani. Though Admiral hault-Plankwell claimed victory for the Imperium, he simultaneously castigated the central Imperial authority for its lack of support during the war and subsequently led an expedition to Capital and assassinated the Empress Jaqueline I, seizing the Iridium Throne and beginning the Imperial Civil War and the period known to Imperial history as the Emperors of the Flag.

During the Second Frontier War Duchess Arbellatra, now Grand Admiral of the Marches, brought an end to the War, subsequently allowing her in her turn to march upon Capital and bring an end to the concurrent Imperial Civil War as well, leading to her appointment as Regent of the Third Imperium, and later as 1st Emperor of the Alkhalikoi dynasty.

Upon entering the system, the first thing a traveller will notice about Rhylanor is its bleak-looking slate and obsidian color and a scarcity of active weather patterns. Rhylanor's very thin atmosphere, rocky composition and mineral-rich oceans make it as gray as jump space. Scant meteorological activity can be accounted for by weak stellar emanations coming from Rhylanor's solitary red dwarf star, Icarus.

As travellers approach close orbit, however, they will begin to notice immense amber and brown splotches of urban sprawl on the small world's surface. Rhylanor's linear and hard-edged coastlines stem from massive terraforming projects performed over generations since Rhylanor was settled in the frontier days of the Spinward Marches (ca. 150). Urban areas include scores of arcologies, gravitic cities and even undersea settlements whose main business is the distillation of valuable ore products that seep forth from Rhylanor's multitude of undersea vents.

Rhylanor's principal Highport, the Rhylanor Orbital Starport (R.O.S. or "Ross", as it is affectionately known) is home to multiple millions of inhabitants. Ross is unique in that it is a modular orbital city, comprised of three separate units. Normally the three units are united into one cohesive orbital starport/city, but during major fleet maneuvers or wartime, the three modules divide into separate entities that are strategically placed at equidistant vertices in point defense of Rhylanor proper. Each module is equipped with a 2-G maneuver drive and dozens of PAWs, missile launchers and meson-gun mounts for such exercises. The three starport modules are called Vord, Emberheim, and Xao, named for a famous scientist, entrepreneur, and military leader, respectively, drawn from Rhylanor's colorful history. Emberheim, the largest of the three modules, contains Rhylanor's massive orbital shipbuilding yard. Administered by the system government, major portions of the yard are leased to Ling Standard Products and General Products LIC. Many smaller indigenous shipbuilding outfits also lease manufacturing space at the facility. Each of the three modules contains space leased to the Regency Navy (RN) and Regency Interstellar Scout Service (RISS) as well. The majority of Rhylanor's SDB squadrons are docked at Xao.

Population

Over 70 percent of Ross's permanent population is civilian. Most of the civilian population is employed in some capacity by Rhylanor-based subsidiaries of Imperial megacorporations. Numerous merchant lines including such notables as Oberlindes lease or own major lots in each of Ross's modules. Two arcologies are mounted on each module, housing approximately 85 percent of the civilian population. The remaining 15 percent live in settlements located in scattered areas of Ross's immense lattice-like structure.

Urbanization

In the colonial days of the planet, tough settlers had to brave Rhylanor's harsh and unforgiving environment to establish the foundation of what is, in their minds, the greatest jewel and example of technological might in the Marches. As a notable offworlder who made his way on Rhylanor as an oceanic wildcatter once said, "If you dig your way in like a tick on a kian's back, hold tight and weather the storm, you're a Rhylanori for life."

The capital city of Rhylanor and location of its main starport is Olavopolis (formerly the Rhylanor Arcology), named for the First Frontier War hero, Admiral Olav hault-Plankwell. Olavopolis is an immense city, and a planetary nexus for commerce, education, and industry. The city is comprised of arcologies, floating gravitic residential and industrial centers, and subsurface oceanic domes that extend beyond the coastline of Olavopolis's terrestrial sprawl.

Arbellatracon, Rhylanor's largest city (formerly Kharginir Arcology), is the planet's manufacturing center. Consisting mostly of massed arcologies, dismal industrial Arbellatracon is for the most part a rough and tumble blue-collar city. Eighty-eight percent of the population are members of the Brotherhood Church. On their weekly day of rest, Wonday, Arbellatrans don bright ritual compressor apparatuses adorned with fetishes and ascend to the surface of the planet to pray in the dim light of Icarus. Under the moonless violet Rhylanori skies, they engage in two to three hours of prayer and then return to their apartments for ritual feasting and drinking.

Rhylanor boasts several smaller cities as well, the largest of which, Fuirmidh, is the home of the University of Rhylanor. A referendum to rename the city Norriscon, after the Fifth Frontier War hero and former Duke of Regina, was defeated in a landslide vote in 1110, after opponents of the referendum successfully reminded the citizens of Rhylanor that Norris too clearly represented Regina to be worthy of such an honor.

Technology

As for Rhylanor's technological might, most of the planet's industries operate at TL–15, with Rhylanori specialties such as computers, robotics and many aspects of starship building in some cases achieving TL–16.

Government

Rhylanor has a bicameral government which prefers a hands-off approach for the most part, allowing easy passage on and off-world. Liberal weapon possession and personal freedom laws are intended to encourage off-world trade and tourism. The RMT presence is every bit as intrusive as it is on Ross, but the trading blocs do not have a presence on Rhylanor proper.

The Executive Proxy (EP) is the reigning government on Rhylanor, consisting of eight senators. The EP have historically been drawn from the ranks of retired flag rank Imperial or Regency naval officers, native Rhylanori corporate executives, Rhylanori nobility and senior legislative-branch politicos. Upon taking office, each member of the EP prepares a preferred list of three successors. The senator may optionally alter his preferred list at the end of each eight-year term. Most do not, however, as altering one's list is seen by the electorate as a sign of weakness. When a senator dies or willingly secedes, the general population of Rhylanor votes for one of the three successors to replace the senator. The EP, for the most part, tries to facilitate free trade and off-world tourism by maintaining a hands-off approach. Their primary function is directing the economy of Rhylanor, promoting industrial projects and public works, and generally touting Rhylanor to the rest of the subsector and the Regency in general.

Legal power and administration of the powerful RMT is administered by the Magistracy, Rhylanor's lower governmental house and judicial branch. Magistrates are elected by popular vote in population bloc electoral districts.

Military

Members of Rhylanor's highly technical planetary navy, COACC, and 23rd fleet Regency naval personnel staff are drawn primarily from the population of Rhylanor proper and other planets in the system. Conversely, Rhylanor's army and marine regiments are only about 20 percent Rhylanori. The bulk of Rhylanor's soldiers are volunteers and conscripted troops from the nearby Porozlo and Jae Tellona systems. The highly disciplined Jae Tellonan units are known as the "Rashakhras", named for a long-dead Vilani warrior caste that fought in the Interstellar Wars. The Rashakhras are respected and feared throughout the Marches and are known to be some of the toughest soldiers of the Regency.

Trade

Highly competitive trading blocs operate on each of Ross's modules, each with its own dominant bloc. The blocs are very turf-sensitive and will take quick and decisive action against any off-worlders who come into their territory and trade without paying an appropriate obeisance to the dominant bloc on the module.

The powerful Rhylanor Ministry of Trade (RMT) keeps a watchful eye on all mercantile activity. The export of Rhylanori technology, especially cutting-edge Rhylanori computer and robotics technology (see below), is heavily policed by law enforcement agents assigned to the RMT.

Despite the clannish trading blocs and intrusive RMT on Ross, free trade manages to flourish, with off-world goods constantly flowing into Ross's ports from throughout the central portion of the Regency.

Culture

The University of Rhylanor in Fuirmidh is a hotbed of ideas and liberalism, and the UR has long been a place where innovation and intellectual freedom flourish. The conservative population of Rhylanor often sneer at the mention of the university, but grudgingly accept it for its merits. Known during the Fifth Frontier War for pro-Ine Givar student protests, the university remains a place where dissenters can voice their opinions. UR is Rhylanor's bastion of liberalism.

Outlook

A division exists between the governmental approach and native Rhylanori sentiment concerning off-worlders. While the government encourages free trade and tourism, the citizens of the planet are known to be rather smug. In fact, "Rhylanori pride" is known throughout the Marches as the defining characteristic of this system's citizens.

Rhylanori pride stems from historical events. Rhylanor served as the pivotal system in the Fifth Frontier War. Advancing Zhodani forces were stopped and turned back at its borders. For a time, prominent local groups such as the ' 'Sisters of Rhylanorae, the local Brotherhood diocese, and the Olavopolis Patriot Guild even lobbied the Imperium to establish Rhylanor as the capital of the Spinward Marches. Though Mora was eventually selected for astrographic and historical reasons, most Rhylanori believe their world is more deserving of the honor.

The Rhylanori are a progressive people and look at defeat as part of an ongoing struggle. Any and all recognition is quickly magnified and extolled.

Off-worlders may be put off initially by Rhylanori pride. Attempts to make trading pacts or establish permanent residency on Rhylanor may well be rebuked in the courteous but decisive Rhylanori manner at first. Persistence, however, wins out on Rhylanor. Off-worlders will discover that the exclusive and conservative Rhylanori greatly admire mavericks, entrepreneurs and frontiersmen.

The Rhylanori are essentially a proud and forward-thinking people whose world is just reaching maturity in the galactic scheme of things. Though commercial enterprise and legal bureaucracy have made their imprint on the system, native Rhylanori long for the days of colonial freedom and the wild frontier. Consequently, most Rhylanori greatly admire the adventurer's spirit though most are loathe to give up the golden handcuffs of their technologically advanced and liberated society.
