System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Yiapl is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Yiapl has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard 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.

• It experiences moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Yiapl has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites

Yiapl retains a single relatively large arid moon.

• It orbits once every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Yiapl lies on the Yiklerzdanzh Main, the major trade route within the sector.

• An eclectic mix of high cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

• Worlds on the Main are marked in green.

World Starport (St)

Yiapl 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.

• The federal government is responsible for the running of all starports in Meichntid Ibl. In practice, though, this means that the Federal Starports Authority sets up a list of rules and guide-lines by which all starports must be run, and then contracts the ports out to be run by various corporations.
• The world is host to a Meichntid Military Station, which functions both as a Naval Base and as an Exploration Base.

World Population (P)

Yiapl has a population of 4,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

Demographics

The overwhelming majority of Meichntid Ibl citizens are biological Zhodani.

• Less than one percent of the Human gene pool is from humans of other origins, primarily Vlazhdumecta.

Linguistic Topography

The most widely spoken language is Zdetl.

Urbanization

People visiting Meichntid Ibl settlements can be overwhelmed by the level of advertising. Advertisements of all types will be seen, as there are no restrictions -- with the exception that subliminal or mind-altering advertising is illegal as it conflicts with the Anidrep philosophy.

World Technology Level (T)

Yiapl possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Meson Communicators and Pseudo Reality Communications.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, improved collectors, and advanced Fusion+.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Advanced gravcraft.
  • Air: Advanced gravcraft and speeders.
  • Space: Advanced gravcraft and G-Carriers.
  • FTL: Jump Drive-6.

World Government (G)

Yiapl is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

• Politicians are elected to the world legislature, which is responsible for appointing a set number of representatives to the Meichntid Ibl Federal legislature. These federal representatives are responsible to the world legislature which appointed them.

World Military

• Individual worlds within the Meichntid Ibl are not permitted to have independent military forces. However, police and law enforcement activities are not military and are therefore under world government control.

World Law (L)

Yiapl has a moderate law 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, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

• As a member of the Meichntid Ibl, this world sees activity from the independent judiciary known as The Questioning Eye, the role of which is primarily to monitor government activities. The Questioning Eye has a wide range of powers in order to make sure that official affairs are conducted in an efficient and proper manner.

World Culture

This world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.

Unlike the Consulate, of which the Meichntid Ibl was once part, psionic ability is not associated with natural leadership.

The average Meichntid Ibl citizen is under enormous pressure to succeed. This lifelong pressure comes in many different forms, from media content to peer group pressure. The average successful citizen works for one of the many corporations which dominate the Meichntid Ibl economy. These corporations demand a great deal of loyalty from their employees, and those seen to be loyal and efficient can expect lucrative bonuses, fringe benefits, or other perks provided by the company.
