History & Background / Dossier[edit]
This is one of the six "homeworlds" of the Murians; one of a string of High Population worlds with A-class starports that are the backbone of their realm.
World Starport[edit]
Semkarr 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 Population (P)[edit]
Semkarr has a population of 6,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
- The population consists of Murians.
World Technology Level[edit]
Semkarr 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.
- This is slightly below average for the Altarean Confederation.
World Government[edit]
Semkarr is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.
- This world practices a continuous direct democracy aided by electronic vote tallies. These votes aren't winner-takes-all but involve ranking several options, with successive rounds of voting narrowing the field to choices with the most support and smallest resistance. When objection to the most popular choice remains in any way significant, a new vote with a compromise solution is often conducted.
- Any action undertaken by the Altarean Confederation requires the unanimous consent of all nine members of its governing Council and ratification by governments of the nine represented worlds, of which Semkarr is one.
