Ronix 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 member of the Kingdom of Peladon in the Evalren Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• This world is controlled by Peladons.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Ronix 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)

Ronix has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Ronix has 85-95% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few small continents, and a number of islands and archipelagos. Dry land is limited. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites

Ronix retains two small vacuum moons.

• They orbit once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Ronix is a quiet backwater with an economy dependent on aquaculture, chiefly fishing for large oceanic sea creatures and sea floor crustaceans.

• What infrastructure there is supports watercraft operations and processing marine produce.
• The resources of the system are gradually being exploited.

There is limited activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively frequent: ships occasionally arrive and depart, chiefly to deliver machine parts or haul away marine produce.
• Commo is filled with signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• Multiple commercial navigation beacons will be active.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Ronix 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.

• The starport is the private property of the Kingdom of Peladon. It is operated and run by the Kingdom.

World Population (P)

Ronix has a population of 700,000 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.

Urbanization

A single large urban center is surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• The population are concentrated into a single relatively densely populated region.
• Much of the surface of the world remains as wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Ronix possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
  • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Ronix has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
