Urginkir is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • It is a member of the Kargol Confederation in the Sastanna Subsector of Leonidae Sector.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Atmosphere[edit]

Urginkir has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport[edit]

Urginkir 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

Urginkir has a population of 100,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics[edit]

World Languages[edit]

Urbanization[edit]

Kargol cities are typically low and densely built. Stone and brick are traditional building materials.

World Technology Level[edit]

Urginkir possesses a Technology Level of TL–4.

A typical Kargol device is small, simple to use, and well built; usually extremely finely finished but devoid of overt decoration.

World Government[edit]

Urginkir is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

  • The basis for Kargol government is direct democracy. Every citizen is expected to vote on all important issues. Councils of managers are employed to take care of the daily business of government, but there are weekly policy elections.
