Utoland has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. The governance of this world is from Arden (Spinward Marches 1011). It is a Human dominated Non-Aligned world in the Jewell Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector. This world hosts a Military Base for support of military ground forces.
- Utoland is a member of the Spinward Main.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Stellar Data[edit]
Utoland has a solitary primary star.
- It is a red main sequence.
System Data[edit]
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x6 secondary rocky worlds.
- x1 planetoid belt.
Mainworld Data[edit]
Utoland's population of 40,000 live mostly in and around Utane, the world's single major city. A group of mines lie clustered about 100 km south of Utane and is connected to the city by a monorail line.
It orbits within its star's habitable zone.
- It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Utoland is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Utoland has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Utoland has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.
(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

1209 Utoland (Federation of Arden)
Starport: Class III.
Diameter: 3,928 miles (6,300 km).
Atmosphere: Standard oxygen-nitrogen, bearing micro-organism taint that causes respiratory infections in most humans.
Hydrographics: 34%.
Climate: Normal.
Population: 4,300.
Government: Ruled directly from Arden (subjugated).
Control Level: 2.

History[edit]
The nascent Federation of Arden is particularly influential on Utoland and is considered to control the world. Although rated "non-industrial", Arden-backed industrial concerns, operated by personnel brought in for the purpose, are currently operating on the planet.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Utoland has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
Urbanization[edit]
The major settlement is Utane.
Many buildings are equipped with basic dust-traps and blowers in the entrances, to deal with the omnipresent dust. Respiratory diseases are common among those who can't afford blowers or good door seals.
History-Era: Milieu 1120[edit]
In 1106 Utoland was taken over by the recently expansionist Federation of Arden, which imposed a colonial administration on it and proceeded to strip it of resources, ostensibly to bolster its own developing economy.
