Shifrledl is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
• It is a client state of the Zhodani Consulate in the Vanguard Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Shifrledl is a binary star system.

• The primary is an orange main sequence.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

Shifrledl has two stars in the star system.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Shifrledl has a slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 3.6 standard days (86 standard hours).

It orbits within the primary star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's colder outer H- region.
• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Shifrledl is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Shifrledl has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Shifrledl has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

• The world experiences relatively low temperatures.
  • Temperatures climb to relatively high levels during the 43 hours of daylight.
  • Temperatures plummet to low levels during the 43 hours of night.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Shifrledl is a backwater outpost with almost no development.

• It is sponsored and supported by the Zhodani Consulate as part of a gradual expansion into the region.
• The resources of the system are being explored.

There is limited activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is infrequent: ships rarely visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• One or two commercial navigation beacons may be active.
• Vessels rarely operate among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Shifrledl has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Demographics (P)

Shifrledl has a population of 10.

• There are dozens of temporary workers, permitted to stay for a set period, resident on the world.

Urbanization

A single central facility, lying close to the starport, with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• Structures and facilities are sealed against local environmental conditions.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Shifrledl possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government (G)

Shifrledl is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Military

Privately retained security personnel

World Law (L)

Shifrledl 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.
