Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Voullatueng 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..

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Voullatueng has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Voullatueng 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 & Topography

Voullatueng is a highly unstable planet. Buried beneath the ice are untapped reservoirs of rare mineral deposits, but conditions are so harsh that mining and processing outposts are difficult to sustain -- even high-quality pressure domes are vulnerable to earthquakes.

History & Background (Dossier)

In 1064, Voullatueng was annexed by the Worlds of Leader Rukh, considered a strategic takeover. Voullatueng was actually one of several worlds to benefit from being conquered by Rukh.

World Starport (Sp)

Voullatueng 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.

• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)

Voullatueng has a population of 4,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

Linguistic Topography

The most widely spoken language is a dialect of Gvegh.

Urbanization

Vargr settlements are lively and chaotic, full of garish colours and loud noises. Streets are packed and buildings press together. Vehicle traffic is fast and chaotic; the accident rate is low only because of superior Vargr reflexes. Zoning codes are rare, and districts jumble together.

World Government (G)

Voullatueng is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

• Corruption is common in the Worlds of Leader Rukh; bribes are made to officials to avoid certain taxes, and charismatic individuals can talk their way out of most potential problems and fees.
• To reduce any dissident movements within the military, soldiers are paid and treated well.

World Law Level (L)

Voullatueng has a moderate 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. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Technology Level (TL)

Voullatueng possesses a Technology Level of TL–14 or TL-E in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early meson communicators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, early collectors, and advanced fusion plants.
