Mainworld Data[edit]

Rrigrragaen is a small world with a diameter of only 4775km and a surface gravity of 0.35. Yet the teeming jungles of this world produce a Standard atmosphere with an average pressure of 0.99.

Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

This rainforest world has a healthy water cycle across its landmasses. One crop yields a fruit akin to a very large banana or plantain, possibly due to the weaker gravity of the world. Powerful rivers run rapidly down from jagged mountains on four sub-continents and various seamount islands. Mineral resources have been found on dry land, on the continental shelves, and in shallow seas crust.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

This mainworld has a lower average aquatic biomass than other worlds of the Infinity League and care is taken not to deplete the seas' fish population with large-scale fishing.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Originally a penal colony sent from Ragerzesu (Knoellighz 1038), the first settlers here were soon joined by further frontier settlement via investing contracts from Duelunogoerrzuez (Knoellighz 1138) in a trade, land grab and homesteading treaty. The new colonists further strengthened the then growing Infinity League. This led to the initial faction partitions such as the Office of the President and the Agricultural faction. Rrigrragaen is the last world inside the Infinity League on the so-called Bridge of Destiny.

Four Gas Giants have increased through traffic along the Jump-1 main in Khuzedhoth Subsector as well as in-system trade as the mainworld is blessed with both Agricultural (Ag) and Rich (Ri) Trade Codes. Growing from a Captive Government and penal colony to a three-world partnership Colony, Rrigrragaen has, since the land grab, had the Agricultural faction moved to Dzourzzo (Knoellighz 1035) to redirect political maneuvering off-world. To the same end, the C-rated Downport is kept at its original status.

A population of seventy million Vargr has grown on this world, settling first on high mountain plateaus and steppes overlooking the jungles below. Similarly, the original penal colony is located on a large, volcanic island. There is segregation still, between the original convicts and their descendants and the later, arriving colonists from Ragerzesu and Duelunogoerrzuez (Knoellighz 1138). Sociologists are still studying the lingering standoffishness between the two groups. Whether this detail rates the world as Balkanized, has yet to be determined.

Though the original penal colony first settled Rrigrragaen under higher, TL-10, security, later contractual colonists arrived and reduced the average Tech Level to 8 by their numbers. Due to the inability to effect a loosening of security regulations, the Law Level has remained at A, prohibiting weapon possession worldwide. There is a political action group lobbying for a lesser Law Level, but so far the average citizen is content with Infighting schools at the Downport's Startown.

World Starport[edit]

Rrigrragaen has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

Gvegh is the Vargr language spoken in the Infinity League, a carryover from settlers originating in Gvurrdon Sector. Many well-educated or corporate Vargr of the League also speak the Zhodani language Zdetl and touch upon Vuakedh when needed.

History-Era: Virus Era 1130s[edit]

The encroachment of Virus devastates the computers of Rrgrragaen, but since the majority of this world has allowed itself a lessened Tech Level, minimal damage is suffered. Recovery is quick after quarantine protocols imported from Gvurrdon Sector are implemented. The Downport comes under superficial bombardment by Vampire Fleets in transit along the Bridge of Destiny during this era.

History-Era: Empress Wave 1157[edit]

Psions, as few as they are during this year, have already left Rrgragaen. Forewarned by other worlds of the Infinity League and the Zhodani Consulate’s share of misery, Talented Vargr are already in self-imposed quietus during this event. It is not measured how many psionic-trained and Psions return to this world years after the Wave passes the mainworld.
