History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Shigulur has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions.

Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Shigulur has a population of 20,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• The population consists primarily of Humans of mixed Yilean descent (mostly Vilani-Yilean)

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.

• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.

  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Shigulur has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

As a member of the Gashikan Empire, this world has a Velja. A planet's Velja has veto power over all decisions made by the local governments relating to space travel, defense, or interactions with other worlds.

Information and Media

The Ministry of Information and Safety (MIS) is technically an arm of the imperial Gashikan government, but in many ways it behaves independently. The Ministry's ostensible mission is to prevent the spread of damaging Vargr propaganda, and to promote peace and unity throughout the Empire. To accomplish these goals, its agents maintain careful control of all news and information.

World Law (L)

Shigulur 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).
