Mainworld Data

No information yet available.

Mainworld Size (S)

Encha is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Encha has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

First contact occurred millennia ago.

Five species – the Chowwar, Enchai, Huuran, Muu, and Nagad – all appear to have evolved intelligence at the same time.

• The homeworlds of all five species lie within the same general region.
• All five species retain almost identical dormant markers within their genetic makeup.
• Other than the timing of their emergent sapience, they have few other biological or chemical similarities.

At almost exactly the same time, Droyne were transplanted onto Naylyoeatru.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Encha has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Printing press, the mechanical telegraph, and the first audio recordings.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Coal or other simple hydrocarbon fuels and early steam engines.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Bicycles and early steam coaches with advanced roadways.
  • Water: Advanced sailing and early steam engine ships.
  • Air: The earliest hot air balloons.

World Government (G)

Encha is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Military

No information yet available.

World Law (L)

Encha has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Urbanization

Multiple large urban centers are surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• Inhabited areas are dotted across the world.
• Large regions of the surface of the world remain as wilderness.

World Culture

• Homogeneity: 9 (discordant)
• Acceptance: 5 (very aloof)
• Strangeness: 3 (somewhat typical)
• Symbols: 3 (very concrete)

World Timeline

• ca -250,000: the Enchai emerged as an intelligent species.
  • At almost exactly the same time four other species on nearby worlds evolved intelligence, and Droyne were transplanted onto Naylyoeatru.

Red is Naylyoeatru.
Yellow is other sophont homeworlds.
