Wovoka is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
- It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Wovoka Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

System Data
2 Gas Giants — 0 Planetoid Belts — 7 Other Worlds
Mainworld Data
Wokova is an Terra-like garden world, of similar size, ocean-coverage, and gravity orbiting at 0.92 AU, towards the colder edge of the life zone. The thicker atmosphere allows Wovoka to maintain mostly moderate temperatures.
The Wokovan Moon orbits more closely than that of Terra, but the similarities are striking.
Mainworld Geography & Topography
There are 6 large contiguous continents, numerous mountain ranges, and large ice caps covering most of the 2 polar continents.

World Starport
Wovoka has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World Technology Level
Wovoka possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C 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-3.
World Government
Wovoka is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
World Law Level
Wovoka has a moderate 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. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture
Wovoka was originally settled by a group made of distinct, ancient tribal groups of Terra. The majority identify with tribal nations from the Terran North American region, but other historical indigenous tribal groups also emigrated here. These cultures have a remarkable focus on traditional ethics and morality, with few of the extremist elements often found in some cultural groups.
The name "Wovoka" is a historical reference to an ancient Terran shaman, who started a resistance effort by developing a cultural touch-stone called "The Ghost Dance". There is considerable material available in the Wovoka worldnet at:
- tupoone://wokova.gov/histnet/wokova.vr
Urbanization
The peoples of Wovoka make a consistent effort to minimize any harmful impact to their adopted mother. Even their largest urban areas take great technological and architectural care to integrate not only nature, but to leave intact as much of the major plant life as possible. Some peoples attempt to recreate (to an extent) the ways of their Terran ancestors, and have been breeding herds of Terran herd-beasts to aid in that aim, as there were no such fauna originally on Wovoka.
Modern power sources are utilized strategically to allow an advanced technological society to flourish.
The Wovokan capitol city is located on the largest continent, Cherokee, and is named:
- Sequoyah
