Skanor is an agricultural, nonindustrial, and pre-rich garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts.
- 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.
- Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to incrementally rise barring outside forces. The world will grow even quicker when its industrial sector begins to develop.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Rigel Subsector of Rigel Sector.
- This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
- Skanor has control over Preet (world).

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Notable local flora includes the Miell's Redwood tree. Growing in only one small area on the main continent, due to local soil mineral content, it's wood is a delightful bright orange colour, and the hardness means it makes for lovely and resilient furniture. It is highly prized on the world, and export is highly restricted.
Local fauna includes the Diiquit, a species of bird noted for it's beautiful plumage. It makes its nests high in the Miell's Redwood trees, sleeping on it's back, secure in that no predators can reach it.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
- -1940
- Ships from Exploratory Mission Number 315 arrived and charted Skanor. The found extensive non-sentient flora and fauna.
- 623
- Marked the arrival of Bart Skanos. He left the Anniversary Sector in the year 619, at the heights of the Imperial Civil War and the Second Frontier War, with three huge transport ships, 'The Captains Bathtub', 'Star Goat' and 'Telephone Sanitizer', and a collection of jump probes. The transport ships contained thousands of humans who felt that the Third Imperium was no longer a place that they wanted to live. Feeling their way coreward they covered 4 sectors in a 2 year journey, and arrived at a suitable planet which was called Skanor in his honour. There are now 11 planets in the Skania Pact, which is a loose alliance of independently governed planets in the sector. Skanos sent the transport ships back to Anniversary and over the next 50 years not only did they they ferry millions of people to the Rigel Subsector, but countless other ships followed the trail of beacons that they had left on the route. Eventually the beacons power cells expired, and since the wars had ceased, the flow of people to the Rigel Subsector ceased. There is now little to no traffic between the sectors. Skanor itself is a spacious garden world, with small population centres scattered across the surface. Bart Skanos decreed that the world would be not become a polluted, highly industrial world, and so decided an alternative planet would be found for industry. They had brought with them the parts for a J2 scout ship, and after it was re-assembled, and then after several years of searching the local stars for a suitable one, an industrial base was set up on Preet (world).

World government[edit]
Skanor is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
World Law Level[edit]
Skanor has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
