World Government[edit]
- When in a Ral Ranta system, knowing what clan runs things is more important than what sort of government is running the system. Who you know grossly outweighs the apparent laws and government of the system.
- In almost any Ral Ranta system bribery is a way of life in dealing with the government.
World Military[edit]

World Law Level (L)[edit]
Sablass has a low law level. 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. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
Whether as part of the official legal system or not, corporal punishment is pervasive throughout Ral Ranta society.
World Economy[edit]

Trade Data[edit]
Ral Rantan merchants are generally unscrupulous but will keep their word and any deal they make to the letter of the agreement -- this includes any verbal contract. They expect the other party to honor a deal the same way, on the threat of violence. It should be noted that Ral Rantans are often very adept at finding loopholes and exceptions to deals, agreements, and contracts, and may define the terms of one in unexpected ways.
World Demographics[edit]

World Culture[edit]
Sablass is home to the Mkono Memusi clan, which manufactures small covert ships and engages in corporate espionage, assassinations, smuggling, and drug dealing.
Dueling is a widely practiced means of settling disputes. An honorable death is a desirable outcome for a Ral Rantan. They are generally an aggressive, fearless people who say what they mean and mean what they say (though they are also notorious for withholding information in order to gain an advantage, and have no qualms about exploiting others). Demands, threats, and intimidation are an everyday part of life.
Most Ral Ranta have a deep reverence for their ancestors and practice some form of ancestor worship. Having ancestors that are great or notable warriors is considered a source of pride.
