Silveron is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Farina Subsector of Gateway Sector.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Silveron is part of the Gateway Sword. It also gives its name to the nearby Silveron Deep.

Mainworld Data[edit]
Mainworld Topography and Geography[edit]
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Silveron is renowned for the variety and ferocity of its carnivores, which pose a serious threat to the settlements. Predators are kept at bay by a social caste who proudly refer to themselves as "Expendables". Expendables are usually young people hoping to earn the right to a full education and therefore the chance to become a leader or technical advisor.
Among the native predators is the Sletekk, which can best be described as a feathered leopard, favouring lightly wooded terrain.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
World Starport (St)[edit]
Silveron has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.

World Government (G)[edit]
Silveron is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
Government is very loose, with power in the hands of a small educated class who perform technological functions in return for support from the community.
Economy[edit]
Exports include a number of plant and animal derivatives used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Exports are usually bulk shipments picked up once or twice a year by ships from the Renkard Union.
