Era: New Era

Segan has both an unbreathable thin atmosphere and a lack of surface water, making habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Wilds in the Atsah Subsector of Deneb Sector. This is the homeworld of the Segani, a Minor Race.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

System Data

Segan's location on the X-boat route ensures that its port sees large volumes of through-trade and commercial traffic. A jump-4 service is maintained to Kiirindor, with a few jump-3 vessels proceeding to Torm and surrounding worlds in Dunmag Subsector by way of gas giant refuelling at Erita.

Mainworld Data

Segan is a hot planet with two moons, one orbit inward from the habitable zone.

Mainworld Size (S)

Segan 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)

Segan has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Segan has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

Native Sophont (NIL): Segani

Like all advanced life on Segan, the Segani are not native but were seeded long ago.

History & Background (Dossier)

Lurent planetoid ships may be found, trading, in the inner system or in the system’s Oort clouds, refuelling.

With 5 billion inhabitants, Segan is the most populated world in the subsector.

The system is part of the Atsah Cultural Region.

World Starport

Segan 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)

Segan has a population of 5,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Demographics

About 30% of the population are Vargr, and Segan is the fief of the Segae Clan. Some 400 million Humans are found in underground cities, clustered near the starport. These cities are fitted with completely independent, closed ecologies. The remainder of the population are a local Sophont people referred to as Segani.

World Technology Level (TL)

Segan possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• 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-3.

World Government (G)

Segan is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

Segan's current ruler, Gishma Parimesha, is admired both for her personality and her administrative ability. She wields most of the powers of government personally but delegates enough authority to her subordinates to quiet any minor grumbling.

World Law (L)

Segan has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. Travel documents are frequently checked, and destinations must often be declared when traveling substantial distances across the world.

The law level seems oppressive to outsiders, but pleases the orderly, quiet-tempered Seganites.

World Culture

The Atsah Cultural Region, of which Segan is part, is made up in part of pro-Imperial Vargr, who are easily recruited to serve on patrols and diplomatic missions. Allegiances in these Vargr states shift constantly, and each time a world's government changes, so does its status within the Imperium.
