Zeda is an industrial world with a tainted atmosphere. The system has a population over one billion. This system serves as the capital for the subsector. Government control of this world is by an external military force. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Zeda Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Zeda, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight and the fiefdoms of a count and the Subsector duke. All three are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world. This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling Scout Service starships and personnel. This is the homeworld of the Ziadd, a Minor Human Race.

Astrography and Planetology

Zeda is the namesake of the Zeda Subsector, the homeworld of the Ziadd, an important industrial center, and a major tourist attraction.

The world is regarded as an Ancients site because that race transplanted the Ziadd there from prehistoric Terra. No actual Ancients sites have ever been discovered.

Zeda is a member of the Dagudashaag Main.

Native Sophont (NIL): Ziadd

The Ziadd are the only surviving Minor Human Race within the Dagudashaag Sector, the Miyavine having died off several thousand years ago. Ziadd were genetically engineered from Homo Neanderthalensis by the Ancients, around the year -400,000, taken from Terra by the Ancients and transplanted to Zeda.

History & Background (Dossier)

Zeda serves as subsector capital.

The world has a rich cultural heritage and is steeped in history. This can be brought dramatically to life by the many Ziadd who still follow the 'old ways' (the Ziadd hold tradition and heritage very highly, and casual travellers are warned to treat high-ranking individuals with the respect their status warrants). Most cities are dominated by networks of Citadel-fortresses, and most feel more like gigantic living museums than highly advanced industrial centres.

World Starport

Zeda 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.
