Uegna has a scarcity of water and a sparse, tainted, atmosphere. The system has a population in the 10s of millions of sophonts. This world is designated an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor. It is a member of Ascendancy Pact in the Raelas Subsector of Knoellighz Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Ascendancy Pact labeled Uegna with the equivalent of an Amber Zone warning for the local, primitive society of Stone Age, theocratic zealots, xenophobic of -- yet worshipping -- the Sky People. The Sky People recently erected the Rising Promise Temple (the emptied, D-rated Downport) forbidden by the clergy, whose strange letters were mis-translated by the priest-kings from an Ascendancy Pact Sanctuary (a refuge for emergency landings).

At 100 Diameters, a solar-powered beacon transmits the interdiction to all ships jumping in-system (most of them to mine the single planetoid belt of nickel-iron, or refuel in the wild of the single Gas Giant).

The mainworld's ruling brutes have one valuable secret -- the priest-kings speak Arrghoun, but cannot write it. The local lay sophont speaks a primitive and illiterate Gvegh taught by the Sky People decades ago. Before that time, body language was the communication of choice and might made right. Sophontologists have hypothesized that the world was colonized long ago, but Failed and the throwback survivors used Herbology to fashion the filters needed to breathe the Thin and volcanic-Tainted atmosphere.

The world is technically Failing, with a Tech Level deficiency of -2 for survival, except for the local flora's natural filtration, used by the throwback Vargr here in a ritual fashioning of such filters. Due to the Failing situation, the culture(s) on the surface and cave dens is falling apart and is on the brink of war for survival. Violence comes easy and Infighting is a skill from birth. The priest-kings outside the Temple allow the lay folk to kill each other or nearby tribes indiscriminately. Travel is also a sure path to death, for all travelers are distrusted or slain on sight. Leaving tribal lands for any reason courts death in the wilds -- by dangerous fauna or at the hands of the next tribe over.

Locals are very lean and wiry Vargr throwbacks that excel at stealth and surprise attacks. Light spears and thrown javelins are the tools of hunting and war. Their religion is upheld by the secretive teachings of the priest-kings who believe that the Sky People are gods descending from the heavens, promising 'elevation' from the trials of the world, graduating to divinity only the strongest, most cunning and most ruthless. Most of these barbarians taken aboard a starship, even if a lucky priest-king is one of them, are quickly sold as slaves at Rriuerak (Knoellighz 1831), called 'paradise' -- if the vessel can lift before being overrun by the nearby tribe(s).

A barbarian who can speak Arrghoun would be very valuable to linguistic researchers.

The solar primary is a representative symbol of the Sky People, (M-drive thrust and heat). The distant white dwarf star in the system is the realm of the dead, waiting for those not 'elevated' by the Sky People.

World Starport

Uegna has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
