Villane is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the The Borderland Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

History & Background / Dossier

Villane (also known as Villag) is a non-aligned vacuum world located on the edge of the Great Rift in the The Borderland Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

• Villane was settled by colonists from neighboring Browne using sublight ships.

World Starport

Villane has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Villane possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government

Villane is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

Non-canon: Tiny Villane is the main connector world for Towne to the rest of charted space.

• In antebellum times, several private calibration points were maintained by local crews that permitted crossing of the Rift back into other regions of Borderland subsector.
• It continues that role today.
• Villane is a popular stopover for offworld crews.
• Unlike Gikarlum, the Villaneans have much need for entertainment, and the local startown is the dictionary picture definition of the word "dive."

While Browne lost a great deal of population to Abandonment, Villane has gained a good deal.

• The local arcologies are fully underground and self contained.
• The Regency reinforced the defenses with several deep meson gun mounts, and the populace prefers being safely entombed in their deep homes to the uncertainty of starting over in the Regency or the Hierate.
