Stane is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• 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.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by indigenous Sophonts located in the Stane Subsector of Astron Sector.

• It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• It is the homeworld of the Basachshe.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Stane is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Stane has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Stane has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites:

Stane retains a small close very thin atmosphere moon.

• It orbits once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant, diverse native life filling every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Stane is the homeworld of the Basachshe.

• They are officious, contented, cone-headed semi-humanoids living under an ancient bureaucracy.
• They are omnivorous but have a distinct preference for fresh meat, particularly live small game.

First contact occurred millennia ago.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Stane 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 Demographics (P)

Stane has a population of 70,000,000 Basachshe.

Urbanization

Multiple large urban centers are surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• Inhabited areas are dotted across the world.
• Large regions of the surface of the world remain as wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Stane possesses a Technology Level of TL–1.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Runners or beast relay and long distance signaling such as the heliograph and semaphore.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Muscle power and water wheels.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Riding animals, rickshaws, carts or other creature-drawn wheeled vehicles.
  • Water: Rowed galleys and early sailing vessels.
  • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability or ride-able flying beasts available.

World Government (G)

Stane is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Military

Approximately 200,000 personnel.

World Law (L)

Stane has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
