System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x4 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Stochblala is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the outer system.

• They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

• They orbit beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Stochblala is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Stochblala has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences frigid temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Stochblala has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

• The surface is a frigid, hostile environment.
• Expanses of frost crust the surface.

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.

(Blank map, trace atmosphere world.)

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 10% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.

Native Lifeforms

No native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Stochblala is a backwater with almost no development. Many of the inhabitants are involved in private mining ventures.

• It is a member world of the Izrats Kriezhlas Unity.
• The resources of the system are largely untapped.

There is limited activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively infrequent: ships only occasionally visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• A vessel or two may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Stochblala has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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)

Stochblala has population of 500 sophonts (hundreds).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
• It entirely consists of Vlazhdumecta humans.

Urbanization

A single central facility, lying close to the starport, with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• Structures and facilities are sealed against local environmental conditions.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Stochblala possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Stochblala is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.

World Military

Local volunteer defense force.

World Law (L)

Stochblala 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.
