Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Trossachs is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Trossachs has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. While a Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Trossachs has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Native Lifeforms

Trossachs' natural ecosystem was long ago erased by the expansion of the factories. A few species survived, adapting to their new environment. Native creatures learned to hide in the crevices between pipes or in pools of industrial sludge instead of in trees or swamps.

History & Background (Dossier)

This heavily industrialised member of the Florian League is the most important world in the subsector.

Trossachs is one of the Florian League's three major production centers, creating industrial goods for the entire League. Much of the vast planet's surface is covered in factories, mines or cyclopean barracks for the billions of Feskals who labor here.

• Trossachs' native ecosystem was long ago replaced with factories and the planet teeters on the edge of complete environmental collapse.

World Starport

Trossachs has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Trossachs has a population of 20,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Demographics

Most of the population are Floriani, but the original colonists here were Vilani, their descendants now happily incorporated into the League.

• A few Solomani or Halkan citizens might be seen.

Although some Floriani genetic sequences can also be found in other Human races, the overall genetic structures are very different. Scientists speculate (correctly) that the two Florian races are completely artificial constructs, built by the Ancients on a template of Human DNA.

World Languages

• Floriani
• Vilani: A distinct dialect unique to this world.

World Technology Level

Trossachs possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

World Government

Trossachs is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

As a part of the Florian League, councilors (here technocratic overseers) are chosen from among the Barnai populace by lottery.

Law

The government is supported by a standard bureaucracy, which also administers the Floriani legal system. This legal system is similar to Imperial law, with a judge (from the bureaucracy) and a jury of five. However, there are no set crimes and punishments: unlike in the Imperium, where one attempts to discover whether a specific crime was committed, the Floriani system tries to determine if what was done constitutes a crime; depending on context it might not be.

Economy

The Florian currency is the tlientir.

The League imposes a moderate income tax on all citizens and resident non-citizens. This tax is supplemented by various fees paid to the government for services.

World Culture

The diminutive Barnai are the leaders and intellectuals; the hulking Feskals the labour. Feskals are obedient to Barnai.

Barnai live a life of leisure for their first 16 years. Schooling consists of directed personal study, with each student pursuing individual interests. Once a Barnai reaches maturity at the age of 20, they are expected to perform some sort of public service for a few years.
