Point of Interest: Mobile City-Factories[edit]
The mainworld has a fantastically high iron content, and the Floriani employ mobile city-factories that roll on tracks across the planet's surface, scraping away the thin, rusty topsoil and then digging and refining the exposed ore.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
This heavily industrialized, high-population world is the most important in Nora'a Subsector.
- The Vadadan shipyards produce virtually all Florian naval vessels and are the only shipyards capable of building their heaviest designs.
- The Vadadan Defence Force, consisting of fast-response interceptors and system defense boats, is dedicated to repelling the regular Aslan attacks.
World Starport[edit]
Vadada 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.
- A Naval Base of the A'noss Rianell Floriani, the Florian War Group, is attached.
- The Vadadan Defence Force operates out of this base.
World Population (P)[edit]
Vadada has a population of 8,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
- The population mostly consists of Floriani.
- Some Solomani, Vilani, and the odd Halkan or Aslan are also found here.
World Demographics[edit]
Although some Floriani genetic sequences can also be found in other Human races, the overall genetic structures are very different. Scientists speculate (correctly) that the two Florian races are completely artificial constructs, built by the Ancients on a template of Human DNA.

World Government[edit]
Vadada is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
As a part of the Florian League, councilors are chosen from among the Barnai populace by lottery.
Law[edit]
The government is supported by a standard bureaucracy, which also administers the Floriani legal system. This legal system is similar to Imperial law, with a judge (from the bureaucracy) and a jury of five. However, there are no set crimes and punishments: unlike in the Imperium, where one attempts to discover whether a specific crime was committed, the Floriani system tries to determine if what was done constitutes a crime; depending on context it might not be.
Economy[edit]
The Florian currency is the tlientir.
The League imposes a moderate income tax on all citizens and resident non-citizens. This tax is supplemented by various fees paid to the government for services.
World Culture[edit]
The diminutive Barnai are the leaders and intellectuals; the hulking Feskals the labour. Feskals are obedient to Barnai.
Barnai live a life of leisure for their first 16 years. Schooling consists of directed personal study, with each student pursuing individual interests. Once a Barnai reaches maturity at the age of 20, they are expected to perform some sort of public service for a few years.
