The system's star experiences periodic bouts of flare activity, which causes interference, strange tones and noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.

It is the capital and namesake world of the religiously intense polity, the Tenjada Moralitate.

The name "Tenjada" references the ten books of the scripture, or "jada" in the local holy language.

World Starport[edit]

Tenjada 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 Government[edit]

The justifications for the original change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

World Law[edit]

Like all worlds in the Tenjada Moralitate, Tenjada itself has a strong core of faithful who move from satrap to satrap, ensuring the purity and loyalty of the citizens. They collect the tithe, to ensure that the offertory can afford to manufacture ships and field armies of faithful, holy warriors.

Enclaves and monasteries of loyal monks and scribes networked into huge AI complexes manage all legal data and contracts, scriptures and teachings of the Tenjada. These are constantly updated and patched every time vessels travel from one system to the next. If a vessel is hailed with the good news and its computer doesn't know the correct piece of scripture with which to reply, it is marked as apostate, awaiting clerical review.

World Economy[edit]

  • Resources: B (Abundant)
  • Labor: 8 (Hundreds of millions)
  • Infrastructure: 9 (Extensive)
  • Efficiency: +2 (Good)

Trade Data[edit]

Importance +4 (Prime)

The ten holy books of scripture, or jada in the holy tongue, have extensive rules for the disposition of possessions, family members, livestock, land, and crafts. All interplanetary trade is closely monitored by anointed members of the faithful.
