Theev is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it dangerous to visitors.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Sindal Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Theev 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)

Theev has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Theev has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

Theev has water, but it is present only as ice or as muddy slurry in low-lying areas. Away from the giant mudpits, the landscape is arid, rocky and dusty.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (Sp)

Theev 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.

The Highport is tunnelled into a moonlet; both this moonlet and the port are known as "the Skull". The downport is Blacksand City, but the facilities are unusually dispersed, with the many landing bays linked by subterranean passages.

World Population (P)

Theev has a population of 900,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

Urbanization

The main urban center is Blacksand City, built on top of a series of plateaus linked by sealed walkways. The city is ruled by pirate lords who punish those who use excessive violence in the otherwise lawless city.

During the Sindalian Empire, there were a number of cities on Theev. Traces can still be seen in places, though most have been buried under centuries of dust. All of the known cities have been scavenged, though shells of lower floors might offer some shelter.

There are rumours of hidden settlements on Theev, but the only acknowledged settlement is Blacksand City.

World Technology Level (T)

Theev possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Meson Communicators and Pseudo Reality Communications.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, improved collectors, and advanced Fusion+.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Advanced gravcraft.
  • Air: Advanced gravcraft and speeders.
  • Space: Advanced gravcraft and G-Carriers.
  • FTL: Jump Drive-6.

World Government (G)

Theev has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

The world is a legendary thieves' port, "a pirate's refuge where lawlessness is king and the Imperium's police cutters and patrols cannot reach." As such, the world is considered dangerous and has been assigned an Amber Zone.

World Law (L)

Theev 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.

World Economy

• Kallos Shipyards builds craft at the orbital highport but sells some components from its yards on-planet, while also serving as a clearing house for pirated ship components.
