History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

This world supports facilities of the Ash Trankar -- the Drakaran "marines". It is located between the Drakaran homeworld and Vargr systems.

World Starport[edit]

Sondi 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. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. 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)[edit]

Sondi has a population of 3,000 sophonts (thousands).

  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

World Demographics[edit]

The population is 100% Drakaran.

World Languages[edit]

The common language is N'Toz.

Urbanization[edit]

Settlements are large and sprawling. The Drakaran dislike underground buildings, and except for storage areas few exist.

Cities are laid out in geometric patterns, a function of the race's obsession with order and harmony. Large ranching regions are always nearby, to provide food animals, particularly during The Stalking, a Drakaran predatory phase.

World Technology Level[edit]

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

World Government[edit]

Sondi is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

The dominant political entity is a coalition of the world's great clans, the Vhadrakis-Oon.
