Jump map from Travellermap.com

Zaengsollo is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Hegemony of Lorean in the Bordarnaa Subsector of Amdukan Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Zaengsollo 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Zaengsollo has a population of 600,000 sophonts (hundreds 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 following languages are the most commonly used here:

• Julian Anglic: A common variant of Anglic in the sector, and an official language of the Julian Protectorate.
• Arzulan: A series of largely related languages granted state recognition by the Lorean Hegemony.
  • Other languages may be heard, but have no support from the Lorean government.

World Culture

Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of

• A Vilani conformity and caution,
• A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
• A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.

Economy

Currency is the Julian Star.

World Timeline

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

• 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
• 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
  • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
• 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
  • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
• 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
• 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
  • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
• 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
• 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
• 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
