Salamis is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Wovoka Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Mainworld Data

Salamis is a small, dry, vacuum world tidally locked to its K-class primary.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Salamis is denser than average, as it contains an unusually high amount of uranium, thorium, and classically precious metals. Though Salamis is small, it has a hot, spinning center that generates a strong magnetic field. This core is highly unique in that it spins within a planet that is, on the surface, tidally-locked. As a result, there is active scientific debate on the possibility of terraforming Salamis and creating an atmosphere over the next 50 years.

There is active tectonics in every corner of Salamis, producing groundquakes and active volcanos.

World Starport

Salamis has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Salamis possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-4.

World Government

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

The Salamis Central Committee is appointed by the Europan Dictat personally. The committee is backed up by a substantial Europan military presence, both in-system and planet-side.

World Law Level

Salamis 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. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Military

The equivalent of 2 Army divisions are deployed here, planet-side, under Europan Starforce command.

2 to 4 Europan heavy cruisers armed as missle boats are here at any given time. Solomani Navy capital ships are welcomed for occasional port visits.
