History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Although within Aslan Hierate space, Yokonabe is one of the ten Zodia Colonies and is thus populated by biological Humans who are nonetheless culturally Aslan.
The renowned AuhafyiTyafloiteiRttyeif scientific institution -- usually translated as "Galactic Honour Chest" -- was founded on Yokonabe, and has its primary library facility here.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Yokonabe 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.
World Population (P)[edit]
Yokonabe has a population of 600,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
World Demographics[edit]
World Languages[edit]
- Anglic
- Japanese
- Trokh
- Minor surgical or genetic modifications are common among upper-class Zodia to enhance proper enunciation of Trokh phrases, notoriously difficult for Humans.
World Government (G)[edit]
Yokonabe is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Yokonabe 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.
Criminal acts are rare but not unheard of in Aslan society. Crimes are different from the insults or slurs that provoke duels, and are classified into three categories: crimes of passion, crimes with victims, and crimes of honour.
- Crimes of passion involve misbehavior prompted by temper, anger, or provocation. The accused is judged by the head of the family, pride, or clan involved.
- Crimes with victims involve taking money or items of value, or violating the person of another for profit (kidnapping, terrorism, piracy). General practice is to have an impartial earleatrais consider the case and present findings.
- Crimes of honour involve failure to observe the rituals established for social behaviour. Judgement is made by the pride or clan head, depending on the severity of the crime. Crimes of honour are the most serious in Aslan society; in practice, most are never tried as a duel to the death occurs first.
World Technology Level (TL)[edit]
Yokonabe 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 Culture[edit]
Humans of the Zodia clan place enormous cultural value on their hair. All males grow beards if they can and both genders wear their hair as long as practically possible, baldness being strongly associated with sickness and shame. Realistic wigs and even artificial beards for females are common accessories. Both genders have adopted traditional Aslan clothing, although footwear usually includes subtle lifts to increase height (as Humans are shorter than Aslan).
