Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Wyi has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Wyi 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.

  • A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
  • The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
  • Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.

World Population (P)[edit]

Wyi has a population of 6,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

World Demographics[edit]

  • Orarnak, 90%
  • Other Hive Federation races, 10%

World Languages[edit]

  • Hiver Sign Language
  • Gurvin
    • Orarnak and other non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.

Urbanization[edit]

Hiver nests within a city are usually small all-Hiver areas, with districts between them populated by a mix of races. Heavy goods typically move underground through tunnels. Little of this activity is seen at surface level and most industry is buried in the base of structures.

World Government (G)[edit]

Wyi 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.

World Military[edit]

As a member of the Hive Federation, Wyi can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
