Stohyus is a rich, pre-agricultural world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in size.

  • The world's agricultural industry is growing and some economists forecast an explosion in this world's agribusiness in the near future as new agro-technology and a more capable labor force are imported.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • This world has high-grade living conditions with a good climate and a non-harmful environment. As such, this world is much sought after with large queues for immigration here.
  • This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, as a vassal clan dominate, in the Ranib Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.
  • This world has an Aslan Clan Base, which may combine the features of an army base for ground forces, a scout base, or even a naval base for starships.
  • This world has a colony at Ohtae.

Description (Planetology)[edit]

The Aslan call Stohyus the Golden World, as ice particles in the upper atmosphere reflect the yellow light of the sun, causing the world to shimmer in the day.

  • Territories on Stohyus are coveted almost as highly those on Kusyu (Dark Nebula 1226).

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Stohyus is a rich Aslan Hierate world located in the Ranib Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

  • It is the homeworld of Clan Ahroay'if, vassals of the Tlaiowaha Clan.
  • Most of the Aslan on Stohyus are divided into one of two factions. The Ascendancy faction believe the Ahroay'if's wealth should be parlayed into greater standing back in the Hierate and eventual promotion into the Tlaukhu.
  • The New Horizon faction, made up mostly of younger members and corporate executives, holds that the Tlaukhu and the old Hierate are irrelevant to the clan's future.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Stohyus has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Stohyus has a population of 900,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

World Languages[edit]

  • Trokh: The universal language of the modern Aslan monoculture.
    • Aslan Languages: Note that some Aslan clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.

Urbanization[edit]

Aslan architecture tends to the organic and the rounded. They favour artistry over efficiency in the design of their buildings -- every Aslan structure is different. Even in mass-produced housing, residents will strive to make their territory uniquely theirs.

  • Since Aslan descend from predators and enjoy open terrain, their buildings often feature both open rooms of great size and a number of concealed rooms, balconies, hidden passageways and hideaways.

World Law (L)[edit]

Stohyus has a moderate 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 except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Criminal acts are rare but not unheard of in Aslan society. Crimes are different from the insults or slurs that provoke duels, and are classified into three categories: crimes of passion, crimes with victims, and crimes of honour.

  • Crimes of passion involve misbehavior prompted by temper, anger, or provocation. The accused is judged by the head of the family, pride, or clan involved.
  • Crimes with victims involve taking money or items of value, or violating the person of another for profit (kidnapping, terrorism, piracy). General practice is to have an impartial earleatrais consider the case and present findings.
  • Crimes of honour involve failure to observe the rituals established for social behaviour. Judgement is made by the pride or clan head, depending on the severity of the crime. Crimes of honour are the most serious in Aslan society; in practice, most are never tried as a duel to the death occurs first.
