History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Recent raids on several of the Heptad worlds, notably Vosrin, by the Hochiken People's Assembly have brought the HPA to the brink of war with the Plavian League.

World Starport[edit]

Vosrin has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

Vosrin has a population of 7,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

World Technology Level (TL)[edit]

Vosrin possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Vosrin is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Military[edit]

Heavy orbital and ground-based defenses include aerospace interceptors, heavy missile emplacements and orbital forts. These are not intended to defeat an attacker, but to free battle units to maneuver without being too closely tied to planetary defense. The assumed attacking force is HPA raiders.

World Law (L)[edit]

Vosrin has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
