Jump map from Travellermap.com

Rhylea is a nonindustrial fluid world.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Sylean Worlds, a cultural region and full member state of the Third Imperium in the Core Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.

• About 80% of the population is composed of Syleans.
• About 20% of the population is composed of other human and non-human sophonts.
• This world was historically called Udmum during the Sylean Federation.
• This world was also once known as Khash.

	Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)

This planet was barren until a few centuries ago, when Sylean colonists built a cultural and religious refuge. The name "Rhylea" means 'new home'. The colony is governed by a council of priests, philosophers and academics. Facilities are intended for people of Sylean heritage, and visitors are expected to adopt the dress, customs and language of ancient Sylea.

World Starport

Rhylea 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)

Rhylea has a population of 600,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

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

World Technology Level (TL)

Rhylea 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)

Rhylea 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.

World Military

As with all of the Sylean Worlds save Capital and Yirsh Poy, Rhylea is demilitarised and has been since the Civil War.

World Law Level (L)

Rhylea has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

World Culture

World Religion

The major Sylean religion is Maar Zon, centered on the holy book, the Maar Ki Zon.
