History & Background (Dossier)

The local Corsairs, who are registered and posing as privateers to the Ascendancy Pact Representatives, Magistrates and patrolling Navy, are holding a dark, back pocket secret. Headquartered at Uosa's hidden Corsair Base, the "Uosa Syndicate Privateers" (USP) were the first Corsair band to be absorbed into the Ascendancy Pact as privateers under the Hunters' Bawn back when the polity was in its near-infancy and expanding Coreward. This band of pretenders towed their Letter of Marque all the way through history until the Hard Times era. This is because they had hidden the presence of the nearby worlds, Tasoloe and Dzagok (Knoellighz 2435 and 2436). By defeating the Corsairs at Uknonueng (Knoellighz 2240) and laying waste to the Starport there, the USP claimed the world and further congealed Hunters' territory by politely working with the Ascendancy Admiralty in aiding subsequent patrols at the system, or taking on patrol duties at the Rimward edge of the growing polity. With bribes, polite encouragement Core-Spinward, and deceptive re-routing, the early Ascendancy Pact (long before it was formally named) was misdirected from discovery of Tasoloe and Dzagok -- worlds the USP had found a decade before the emergence of the infant polity's colony vessels.

At the time mere Corsairs, the band had learned early on of the presence of a Vargr clone society of frontier explorer-scientists on Dzagok. On the edge of civilization at the time, the doomed world's population had once catastrophically failed and only 34 learned Vargr remained. Their clones continued on for generations, until discovered by the Corsairs. Today, the 'privateers' enjoy top-of-the-line vessels, systems, and weapons as a result of the "Uosa Secret".

Clones of Dzagok are little more than slaves to the Corsairs, but also very valuable so as to be treated very carefully. The clone-scientists in turn believe that their service is needed to solve problems within the local cluster and are all too happy to help in exchange for the needs of their 'cloneworld'.

The USP 'privateers' willingly limit their Bawn distance to the cluster and its immediate surroundings. This also makes the Navy happy. However, the Corsairs will stop at nothing to keep the Uosa Secret safe.

World Starport

The D-rated downport and highport are kept purposefully low-quality by the Corsairs in a make-excuses, passive-aggressive attempt to discourage naval visits. The true starport is through the hidden Corsair Base in the system's outer planetoid belt.

Urbanization

Uosa is an overpopulated Industrial mecca of high-tech pleasures and gently-prodded worker Vargr. Here, all sort of high-tech distractions can be manufactured, packaged, marketed to the Ascendancy Pact, distributed and even enjoyed. Night scene is the main theme on Uosa and the planetary city never sleeps. With a population of 1,000,000,000, the people here can afford to work in easy shifts. Factories and assembly lines are aided by robotics and powerful computers. Exports include laid-off workers, criminals, Corsair crews, and products of the Uosa Secret: TL-15 items. The planet's obvious Technology Level is kept at 8 to fool the visiting Navy and Ascendancy Pact dignitaries stopping in for a fix of every degenerate kind. Uosa is the capital of every vice, including but not limited to: gambling, prostitution (of Vargr and cloned 'toys'), pleasure drugs, brutal sports, machine sports (e.g. robotic sailball), vehicle racing, black market tech, smuggling off-world and technology espionage (USP versus Ascendancy Pact trade and the legitimate corporate sectors of other nearby polities).

The balkanized governments vie for consumers' money and the sprawl has led to the allowance of shotguns. Crime is present like an ambient, neon glow from street level. Most assaults come from bladed weapons, in contrast. The thin and polluted atmosphere requires air densifiers and purifiers. Thanks to the scientists from Dzagok, personal versions are sold from outlet malls locally. Architecture planning, designs, blueprints and prototypes arrive here from Dzagok for distribution by local, bidding manufacturing companies to produce. This too fills the coffers of the Corsairs.
