Tengfren is a poor low-population nonindustrial desert world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• This world has no free-standing water.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Yeskoth Corporate in the Philamen Subsector of Numbis Sector.

World Starport

Tengfren 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.

• In the Yeskoth Corporate, a central starport authority only exists at class A and B ports. Worlds without such a starport, like this one, are allowed local control of their operations.
• Third Imperium vessels, save for traders and merchants, are not permitted here.

World Technology Level

Tengfren possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
  • Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
  • Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
  • Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.

World Government

Tengfren is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

This world is part of the Yeskoth Corporate.

The central government of the Yeskoth Corporate takes a very light hand in controlling local politics. However, the Yeskoth central government places large numbers of robots and installs AI systems on all worlds within the Corporate to monitor local activity and ensure loyalty. Having to interface with robots and AI is a common way of life on any Yeskoth Corporate world.

World Timeline

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

• Circa -2130: The worlds that will become the Corona Regnum are settled as a Terran cultural region. These Corona Arc colonies make contact with local Minor Races and, in time, the Hivers.
  • Around the same time, the Vilani of the Lishun Suugugki subculture enter the region.
• -2038: Several Hiver-inhabited worlds in Numbis are occupied by the K'kree, who begin exterminating local carnivore populations.
• -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War threatens the Hiver community.
  • Reactions among the Terran colonies are mixed.
• (-1776 to 0): The Long Night.
• Circa -1550: A reportedly zealous response to K'kree probes leads to the first declared Corona Regnum, as the systems of the Corona unite to stand against the larger threat.
  • The Regnum lasts roughly two centuries before collapsing in on itself.
  • The Gold Union forms at some unknown point on the Numbis-Crucis Margin border. It will in time apparently become the Amalgamation Union.
• -740: New Human states in Numbis began to expand and conquer, causing the Corona Regnum to reform as a defensive act.
• -710: Having repulsed attempts on its territory, the Corona Regnum begins conquering systems outside of the traditional Corona.
• -510: The second Regnum collapses, again under its own weight.
• The Year 0: Far to spinward, the Third Imperium is founded.
• 224: A brief Third Corona Regnum is declared, but doesn't survive the death in fleet battle of its founder eight years later.
• 300-420: The Imperial First Survey.
  • Some ships of the Survey go missing in the region. Fragmentary reports suggest that the Amalgamation ("Gold") Union is destabilizing.
• 890: The Yeskoth Corporate begins formation around Edienta and Coreeedo.
• 995 to 1065: The Imperial Second Survey.
  • There is no sign of the Amalgamation Union, aside from common architectural themes in old capital buildings and monuments.
