Rech is an Imperial agricultural, pre-industrial world located on the Spinward Main in Lanth Subsector of the Spinward Marches. In addition to Rech Startown, other major settlements include Aaski and Blake's Town.

Rech is a world with vast flatlands, known for its smoked meats and fine leathers. The turbulent atmosphere spawns tornadoes on a regular basis, and the high oxygen content is poisonous to humans and poses a severe fire hazard.

Proposed X-Boat Station

Prior to the Fifth Frontier War, there were negotiations to create an X-Boat link from Rhylanor (Spinward Marches 2716) to Dinomn (Spinward Marches 1912) and Regina (Spinward Marches 1705). Rech lies two jump-4 jumps away from Rhylanor (Spinward Marches 2716) on a likely path toward Regina (Spinward Marches 1910), making it a candidate for the new X-Boat stop. Rech falls along the jump-2 path from Tureded (Spinward Marches 2414) to Dinomn (Spinward Marches 1912), and Rech's neighbor at Wypoc (Spinward Marches 2011) is Amber-rated so possibly not a preferred stop. Only time will tell if the Scout Service will build an X-Boat Station at Rech.

System Data

According to the Second Survey, Rech has an important index (Ix) of -1, an extended economic rating of 966-1 (9 Resources, 6 Labor, 6 Infrastructure, -1 Efficiency), an extended cultural index of 9678 (9 Homogeneity, 6 Acceptance, 7 Strangeness, 8 Symbols), a Nobility index of BCD (Knight, Baron, Marquis), 15 worlds (6?) in the system, and -378 Resource Units (RU).

IISS GURPS Astrographics Survey

2112 Rech (Imperial)

Starport: Class II.

Diameter: 8,690 miles (13,900 km).
Atmosphere: Dense oxygen-nitrogen, with dangerously high oxygen partial pressure.
Hydrographics: 52%.
Climate: Normal.
Population: 51 million.
Government: Charismatic dictatorship.
Control Level: 6.
Tech Level: 6.
World Trade Number: 3.5.

Rech has a decent highport, and a serviceable downport, but due to the harsh atmospheric conditions, ships must have special permits (and a special streamlining configuration) to land on the planet. Most of Rech Startown consists of subterranean starship berths accessible by elevator. (Starport plans are available in GURPS Traveller: Starports.)

Non-Canon

  • Jonathan Sterlock has detailed Rech's main planet and a prison ice world for MegaTraveller. This includes astrography, a world map, and information on Rech's history, culture, government, military, technology, terraforming, economy, and trade and commerce. It also gives rules for generating MegaTraveller characters with Rech backgrounds, ground and air vehicle write-ups, and a short adventure.
  • Across the Spinward Main is a home campaign that visits Rech and includes a continent map and some play logs that mention the Marquis Rech.
