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

• The mainworld.
• x10 secondary rocky worlds.
• x5 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Yereng is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Yereng has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Yereng has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

The Sky Raiders settled some of their people here. They intermixed with the local remnants of the Vlazhdumecta, whose trade empire had been dismantled by the Zhodani, and began to build in anticipation of the time when the great worldship of their people would reach them.

In -2959, the Zhupek Shirkaa, an empire that arose from the world of D'rarayi, which had a similar history, conquered Yereng.

The Zhupek was itself dismantled by the Zhodani.

By the -2350s, politics in the region were again tense. Jealous of some worlds' independence while their own systems had accepted client status with the Consulate, disgruntled factions began targeting Yereng and other worlds left outside the Zhodani sphere. Several close calls prevented Yereng from being utterly depopulated by bio-war packages. Using new clients Thapek, Zayiri and Raletela as bases, the Zhodani cracked down on the region and put a stop to the attacks.

World Starport (St)

Yereng 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.

• The world is host to a Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Yereng has a population of 2,000 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.
• About 90% of the population (approximately 1800 individuals) is made up of Ne Kraeda ren Kelva.
• Around 10% of the population (roughly 200 individuals) have Zhodani, Imperial, and Vlazhdumecta heritage.
• Many families can trace their ancestry to pre-Long Night Vilani colonists.

Linguistic Topography

• Local languages descended from Vlazhdumecta, with strong Vilani influences.
• Riftian Anglic, a dialect of one of the two principal languages of the Imperium.
• Zdetl, the language of the Zhodani and the Zhodani Consulate.

World Technology Level (T)

Yereng possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A 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: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Yereng 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.

World Law (L)

Yereng 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. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
