Uakye has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. This is a high technology world with available technology over the standards for Charted Space.  This planet is tidally-locked to its primary star with a hot region facing the primary, a cold region on the other side, and a habitable area in the twilight zone between. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Regina Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Uakye, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• Uakye is a member of the Spinward Main.
• It is part of the Regina Cluster.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x9 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.

Mainworld Data

Uakye is tidally locked to its primary star.

• The star is always high in the sky on the bright face, it hangs on horizon in the twilight zone, while the cold dark face is in permanent darkness.
• The world experiences libration - a regular wobble - as it orbits, causing the star to move in the sky.

It orbits within its star's narrow habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Uakye 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)

Uakye 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)

Uakye has 85-95% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few small continents, and a number of islands and archipelagos. Dry land is limited. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant aquatic native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Uakye is an underpopulated world with a little light industry and a good quality starport that attracts trade.

World Government

Uakye is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

The government of Uakye is divided almost evenly between the judicial, executive, and legislative bodies, with the judicial having a slight priority over the other two branches. The judicial function is relegated to a system of hierarchical courts, having regional jurisdictions over various laws. The judges in these courts are selected by a civil service system, and must be recertified every three years. Countess Parasii, an Imperial noble is the sole executive. Her troops, serving in a civilian capacity as law enforcement officers, are generally regarded as being even-handed and efficient. Laws are made by a variety of administrative councils, each having jurisdiction over a certain aspect of life. These legislators are also chosen by the civil service system; any citizen is eligible to attempt to gain a position.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Uakye, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• This world holds the estate of the Countess Parasii of Uakye.

See: Nobles of Uakye.

World Economy

Uakye can not produce enough food locally to feed its population and so remains dependent upon trade.

World Culture

Directly north (toward the dark side) of Uakye City is an area of ocean known as the Shallows, because of its consistent depth of about one meter, covering about 40,000 square kilometers. Every two years, the "Race to the Depths" pits the hardiest Uakyeans against each other as teams of four citizens compete in an "overland" trek. Starting from Uakye City, each team must travel, on foot, 220 kilometers due north to reach the edge of the Shallows, where the continental shelf suddenly drops off. The winning team (or team member, in case of casualties from drowning or attacking ocean life), is awarded a cash prize of Cr50,000; the potential income from commercial endorsements is valued at about five times that amount.

In an effort to increase Uakye's population, the government requires widows and widowers between the ages of 20 and 30 to remarry within a year. Divorces are not allowed between these age limits.

Urbanization

Uakye has very little available land that is, fortunately, arranged around the twilight band. The largest island, Triante, holds Uakye City on the north shore. The city is large and sprawling, with a large industrial park, several residential areas and Uakye Down Starport.

World Timeline

• (1111): In 328-1111, Uakye declared a state of emergency due to the first outbreak of Perruque plague. Within a few weeks, the plague had passed, leaving a large number of dead.
