Population

Population Classifications -> Summary Synopsis Paragraphs[edit]

Population Codes (AC) Classifications -> Summary Synopsis Paragraphs
Pop Code Statement (Summary Synopsis Paragraph) Remarks
0 World is a Barren World with no sophont population. It may still possess lifeforms. Barren World
1 World has a population of %multiplier%0 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.
2 World has a population of %multiplier%00 sophonts (hundreds).
  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
3 World has a population of %multiplier%,000 sophonts (thousands).
  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
4 World has a population of %multiplier%0,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).
  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
5 World has a population of %multiplier%00,000 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.
6 World has a population of %multiplier%,000,000 sophonts (millions).
  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
7 World has a population of %multiplier%0,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).
8 World has a population of %multiplier%00,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
9 World has a population of %multiplier%,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).
A World has a population of %multiplier%0,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions). This is the largest that most worlds in Charted Space get.
B World has a population of %multiplier%00,000,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of billions).
  • High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.
 A few examples, mostly in Aslan Hierate space.
C World has a population of %multiplier%,000,000,000,000 sophonts (trillions).
  • High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.
 Yaskoyloyt (world), possibly a few others.
D World has a population of %multiplier%0,000,000,000,000 to 99,999,999,999,999 sophonts (tens of trillions).
  • High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.
 Code from T5. None exist in Charted Space
E World has a population of %multiplier%00,000,000,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of trillions).
  • High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.
 Code from T5. None exist in Charted Space
F World has a population of %multiplier%,000,000,000,000,000 sophonts (quadrillions).
  • High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets. Worlds with this many sophonts are extremely rare, and can easily account for the majority of a sector's population.
