Yiktor is a nonindustrial fluid world.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Querion Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

• This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• It is a member of the Yiktor Cluster.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The planet has a very warm climate and a very thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere tainted by chlorine. This corrosive atmosphere produces rare organic substances that are then heavily exported to the Foreven Sector.

It orbits within its star's habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Yiktor 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)

Yiktor has a Corrosive Atmosphere and possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit. TL–9 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences very high temperatures.
• Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere push up the world's surface temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Yiktor has 55-65% of its surface covered by a fluid other than water. Wilderness refueling is not possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

• This surface fluid may be ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids depending on the local temperature and environment.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, exotic world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Yiktor is ruled by a Council of 10 that consists of clones of the original council.

World Starport (St)

Yiktor has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.

World Population (P)

Yiktor has a population of 10,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Anglic, one of the two principal languages of the Imperium.
• Vilani, one of the two principal languages of the Imperium.
• Zdetl, the language of the Zhodani Consulate.

World Technology Level (T)

Yiktor 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)

Yiktor 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.

World Law (L)

Yiktor has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
