History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World Starport (St)

Rib 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)

Rib has a population of 20,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Demographics

• Sylean, 80%
• Other Humans (Vilani and Solomani descent), 20%

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

• Core Anglic: One of the principal dialects of one of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
• Sylean: The traditional Sylean tongue, maintained as a major language within the Sylean Worlds.
• Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.

World Technology Level (T)

Rib possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B 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 & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government (G)

Rib has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Governance of this world is from Khuir.

World Military

As with all of the Sylean Worlds save Capital and Yirsh Poy, Rib is demilitarised and has been since the Civil War.

World Law (L)

Rib 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.

Imperial law is almost completely compatible with the Syleans' Maarist religious law. Sylean marriage customs (which include polygamy and concubinage) are the most likely points of contention. Syleans also come into frequent conflict with strong intellectual-property laws in other Imperial cultures.

World Culture

The major Sylean religion is Maar Zon, centered on the holy book, the Maar Ki Zon.
