Remarks

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

Sii is blessed with flat, arable prairies covering its two continents, which are located on either side of the equatorial ocean.

On the northern continent is the Ghazr al-Bahlaal region, including the historical cities of Bhgiimi and Khulaii. The southern hemisphere features the city of Shiakhu.

Native Lifeform: Sii Worm[edit]

Sii Worms are soft-bodied, worm-like animals closely related to vertebrates, which are usually 1.0 to 4.5 meters long, although a sub-species can reach 12.5 meters in length. They live in sandy sea beds, with only the front of the body emerging to feed; and for this they use gill slits, acting as filters.

History and Background[edit]

Sii is one of the main agricultural supply worlds of Argi.

It was originally a slave world of the Aakhri Empire and the people still wear a plastisteel torc as a reminder.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Sii 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)[edit]

Sii has a population of 300,000 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.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Sii possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Sii 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)[edit]

Sii has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. 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.

World Economy[edit]

This world is heavily involved in the production of the popular Argian Bhair.

The Han Ch'i Tai'Pan dynasty is a major owner of agricultural land on Sii.
