Vlenzplieshi is a poor, low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• This poor world is struggling to establish itself and living conditions in many areas are rudimentary.
• It is a member of the Izrats Kriezhlas Unity in the Bilahew Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Vlenzplieshi is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zone's colder outer H- region.
• They receive lower levels of stellar energy.

• They orbit inside the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Vlenzplieshi is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.

• Tidal stresses generated by the worlds gas giant primary cause frequent seismic activity.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Vlenzplieshi has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.
• Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
• Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
• The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.
• The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Vlenzplieshi has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

• The world experiences low temperatures.
• The surface is a frigid, hostile environment.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms

No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

Vlenzplieshi is a backwater outpost with almost no development, serving as a stopover for commercial vessels. The local population operate and maintain the port facilities.

• It is a member of the Izrats Kriezhlas Unity.
• The resources of the system are largely untapped.

A few private interests are active within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively frequent: ships visit the system, usually en route to somewhere else.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• Multiple commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• A vessel or two may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: additional groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Vlenzplieshi 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 Demographics (P)

Vlenzplieshi has a population of 400 Vlazhdumecta humans.

• Hired staff and travellers passing through frequently outnumber the local residents.

Urbanization

A few isolated structures and compounds.

• The population are concentrated into a single small region on the surface.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Vlenzplieshi possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-4.

World Government (G)

Vlenzplieshi 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.

World Military

Privately retained security personnel.

World Law (L)

Vlenzplieshi 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. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
