System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x1 gas giant, named Tlauiztli. It is orbited by the moon Chimalli.

Native Lifeforms

Extensive native life.

Shogun is plagued by several species of marine predators, including the fifty meter long Ixtlil. The inhabitants of Shogun, in return, hunt the Ixtlil and several other major predators.

Iquehuac, the local version of coral, is a valuable resource.

History and Background

The primary population of Shogun is known as Tecuhtl or wave riders. Most live their entire lives on their fishing boats. The main employer is Feathered Serpent Pharmaceuticals, purchasing the harvested sea plants and Iquehuac around the small, rocky atolls that form the only solid land.

Most of the infamous Ba'Xipe Totec Corsairs were Shogun Tecuhtl. They were active in the 1010s. In a daring mission that saw him subsequently elevated to leadership of the Amec Protectorate, Tlacahuepan Motecuhzoma travelled to Shogun and infiltrated the gang. At great personal risk to himself, Tlacahuepan successfully sabotaged the corsairs and called in the Amec Navy.

World Starport (Sp)

Shogun 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.

World Population (P)

Shogun has a population of 700,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

Demographics

There are two broad categories of citizen within the Amec Trade Protectorate:

• The Sun-born, which consists of the nobility, their families, courtesans, and Cuaupilli (those who have successfully undertaken the adolescent Test of Worth).
• The Amtlan, which includes the Maceualli ("tribute" or protected ones) who toil on behalf of their lord, and the Pochteca or independent merchants.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:

• Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
• Karanga: A Terran-derived language that is a secondary tongue within the Amec Protectorate.
• Nahuatl: A language with its roots in ancient Terra, now used as the primary language of the Amec Trade Protectorate.
• Sall: The predominate language of Bolivar (Dagudashaag 0240), spoken as a common second language in the Trade Protectorate.

The planet's Nahuatl name is Huehuetecuhtli.

Although the current Nahuatl designation is not official, it is included in order to assist travellers who may find it beneficial to use this planetary designation while travelling within the Federation. It is strongly recommended that visitors obtain a good quality translator MemClip prior to entering Federation space. INDISS produce a high quality Galanglic-Nahuatl two-way clip available from all good data libraries, price Cr. 150 rrp.

World Government (G)

Shogun 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 Law (L)

Shogun 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 world with this law level may be an Amber Zone or a Red 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. On worlds with this degree of law, it is difficult to distinguish the police from the military. On others, there is no difference.

• Public drunkenness, except on festival days, is punishable by death.
• The wise men known as Tlamatinime act as both lawyer (there are no actual lawyers in Amec Protectorate space) and judge.

World Economy

Currency is the Quetzal.

Each planet within the Amec Protectorate must pay the Tlatoani a tribute (originally it was a proper tithe of 10% of overall production but over the years it increased to 12%).

• The local bureaucracy retains 6% while the other 6% is sold under the AzTec label to help maintain the court and pay for the Amec Navy.
