Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Zhefrstenabl is a remote outpost serving as an exploratory and survey base within the region.

  • It is sponsored and supported by the Zhodani Consulate as part of a gradual expansion into the region.
  • The resources of the system are largely untapped.

A few private interests are active within the system.

  • Commercial traffic is sporadic: ships occasionally visit.
  • Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
  • A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
  • A vessel or two may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.
  • Exploratory or survey vessels may be active in the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

  • Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Zhefrstenabl has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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)[edit]

Zhefrstenabl has a population of 50 sophonts (tens).

  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without significant outside assistance. This may represent a transient population such as the crew of a starship, the final survivors of a dying colony, an advance team setting up to receive colonists, or a small outpost where establishing a colony is not the primary objective.

Urbanization[edit]

A single central facility, lying close to the starport, with a few outlying structures and compounds.

  • Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Military[edit]

Base security personnel.

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 except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
