Uthith is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in population size.

• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• It is a member of the 40th Squadron in the Uthe Subsector of Gvurrdon Sector in the Vargr Extents.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• Uthith, also known as Tsaengngo in some circles, is the capital and naval headquarters of the 40th Squadron.
• The 40th squadron is locally known as the Ekhlle Ksafi.

History & Background (Dossier)

The 40th Squadron -- the initial naval force carrying this title -- was part of the Outworld Coalition during the First Frontier War.

• The Uthith system is located in the Uthe Subsector of the Gvurrdon Sector, and represents the new home of corsair bands that survived the First Frontier War, and sued for separate peace treaties and cease fire agreements. These allowed the remnants of the Gireel and Uthith Fleets to escape back across the border.
• The mysterious origin of this political entity's naval strength has perplexed historians. The ships stationed at the local Naval Base are clearly not built in this region of space. Some arms dealing from more powerful Vargr and Zhodani allies are assumed to be responsible, on the condition that the squadron continue to harass Imperial shipping in preference to their own.
• This naval force is sufficient, when combined with the fierce raider bands and their landing parties, to force a few surrounding planets to acknowledge Uthith's charismatic "leadership".

In recent years the planet has seen an upgrade in starport facilities with the construction of extensive orbital shipyards, and an influx of population.

• The flood of workers trained in industrial manufacturing has cost the world its non-industrial trade classification.
• The nature and motives of the secret allies and benefactors can only be guessed at.
• There are rumors of a captured 200,000ton Imperial battleship which serves as the flagship for the squadron.
• The majority of the ships are capable of at least Jump-3 and displace from 100-1,000tons, with 400ton Corsair Vessels being the predominant design.
• The ground forces range from elite TL-14 units to reserve TL-10 formations. The lower tech troops tend to garrison the lower population and more primitive worlds in the subsector.

World Starport (Sp)

Uthith has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

• The naval officers of the 40th Squadron are the true authority, possessing charisma beyond any planetary leader.

World Law Level (L)

Uthith has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
