Wasat is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial 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 is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- This is a tidally-locked world with one side permanently locked to a gravity source and the other permanently facing away. Most commonly locked worlds are natural satellites of a larger planet or gas giant.
- It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Wovoka Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.
- Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Selenites.
- Less than 10% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.

World Starport[edit]
Wasat has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
The downport is constructed in an artificial cavern, linked to others by light railways and roads running through spacious tunnels.
World Technology Level[edit]
Wasat possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- 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-3.
World Government[edit]
Wasat is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
Specifically, each city’s major officials in charge of a particular function elect a president among themselves, who in turn chooses a deputy to send to the world governing council. This council consists of the deputies from all cities plus the overall heads of critical functions, including offworld commerce, power generation and medical services.
World Law Level[edit]
Wasat 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 Demographics[edit]
Population: 70 million
Selenite 100%
World Culture[edit]
Most Selenites are deeply uncomfortable outside an environment that can be neatly controlled. Being outdoors on a 'wild' planet is unsettling to them, and sudden rain or even a strong gust of wind might provoke panicked demands for reassurance.
Urbanization[edit]
Cities include:
- Wasat City: The capital and the largest settlement on the planet, home to 20 million people.
- Deep Raiawa, situated at the bottom of an immense canyon over three kilometres from the surface; an industrial and scientific centre.
- Adcota, situated in a mountain range of the same name.
