  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • It has few prospects for economic development.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Tlasov was originally given political prominence within the subsector over the Geonee worlds, a slight against Shiwonee.

After the Civil War, Geonee integration into Imperial society proceeded much more smoothly than it had previously. Old colonies across the whole Imperium soon sent ambassadors to the Duke of Shiwonee, and new commercial networks were established. The Geonee worlds soon knew prosperity, to the extent that Tlasov had to become a colony in 796 in order to repay its huge commercial debt.

There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships.

World Languages[edit]

Urbanization[edit]

A great deal of the architecture is now Geonee-style.

  • Family housing is traditionally designed to be two separate wings, joined by a central courtyard.
  • The front part of the house, the "public home", is the abode of a male and any unmarried sons or male relatives. This is where visitors are received and males rest and relax.
  • The rear is the "private home", where the females live. The only males permitted in this part of the house are the husband -- as all the women are under his protection -- and immediate male relatives.
  • The courtyard is frequented equally by both men and women of the family. A secluded section of the courtyard is kept aside for the home of the selweeda -- the Chirper (cerosee) that serves as a symbol of the legitimacy of the patriarch's marriage.

World Technology Level[edit]

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

World Government[edit]

Tlasov has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Governance of this world is from Lagna.

World Culture[edit]

Geonee have a cultural taboo against being seen with a bare head, or showing excessive bare skin. In public, males wear long sleeves and trousers, showing only face, ears, and hands. Females are expected to be completely covered in public, with only eyes and hands exposed.
