Dintnikl 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.
• It is a client state of the Zhodani Consulate in the Lythgoe Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x00 secondary rocky worlds.
• x00 planetoid belt.
• x00 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

No information yet available.

Mainworld Size (S)

Dintnikl is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Dintnikl has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. This atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds, which requires the use of a Filter Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.
• Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
• Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
• The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.
• The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Dintnikl has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms

No native life. No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere. Primitive sub-ice native life. Extensive sub-ice native life. Primitive native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Primitive primarily aquatic native life occupying a variety of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Exotic native life occupying a few specialist ecological niches. Its metabolic functions help drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Technology Level (T)

Dintnikl possesses a Technology Level of TL–0.

• These worlds often contain a Proto-Sophont species beginning to establish a nascent civilization and society.
• This world is in its Alpha Period and has not yet been interfered with by a higher technology civilization.
• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Bodily communicative apparati, courier-runners, and smoke signals.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Bodily muscle.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Bodily locomotion, riding beasts, and litters or sedan chairs.
  • Water: Swimming, rafts, and canoes.
  • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability.

World Technology Level (T)

Dintnikl possesses a Tech Level of TL–0.

World Government (G)

Dintnikl has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Military

• No information yet available.

World Law (L)

Dintnikl has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
