Point of Interest: Research Station Beta (Core)

The Imperial Naval base on Sabsee has reportedly been conducting research into high-tech personal weapons for decades. Recently, a highly advanced fusion-plasma weapon similar to the FGMP-15 was unveiled. Dubbed the FGMP-16, the weapon is considerably smaller and lighter than its earlier counterpart, but every bit as lethal.

History & Background (Dossier)

An ice-covered, non-industrial world in the Apge Subsector of the Core Sector.

• Sabsee is a member of the Imperium.
• The system hosts a Naval Base.

The name Sabsee is thought by some to be Irkonee in origin; neighbouring Maaruur's human immigrants were largely from Shiwonee.

World Starport (St)

Sabsee 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.

• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Sabsee has a population of 100,000 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.

World Technology Level (T)

Sabsee possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Meson Communicators and Pseudo Reality Communications.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, improved collectors, and advanced Fusion+.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Advanced gravcraft.
  • Air: Advanced gravcraft and speeders.
  • Space: Advanced gravcraft and G-Carriers.
  • FTL: Jump Drive-6.

World Government (G)

Sabsee 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 Law (L)

Sabsee 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. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
