History & Background (Dossier)

This is a politically volatile world, hence the Amber Zone rating.

A particularly influential resistance cell, searching outside their system for military aid, once encountered a Vargr corsair band with a newly acquired prize: a Hiver warbot being transported by a merchant vessel out of Kmmo-im. Intermediaries arranged a meeting. The Vargr corsair captain left the meeting much wealthier, and the resistance gained a truly devastating killing machine.

World Starport

Tindouf 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

Tindouf is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés. The justifications for the original change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

World Law Level (L)

Tindouf has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
