World Starport

Yalu 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.

• 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.

  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

World Government

Yalu is governed by a Religious Autocracy. This is a direct theocracy where the government head is a single person who is also the head of the religious organization. The Church hierarchy also serves as the government bureaucracy.

World Law Level

Yalu has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). All aspects of life rigidly controlled. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

The religious philosophy has a environmental element that has legally banned pollution of the environment.

World Culture

Due to religious-society pressures, the population of Yalu ballooned early causing a state of continual near-starvation. Nearly all resources were historically focused on providing adequate food, shelter, and clean water by a well-meaning, but religiously-rigid Church of God (called: Yalu).

With recontact, the religious government immediately embraced Tech-C technologies, and has been enthusiastically implementing advanced power grids, agriculture, aquaculture, and heavy-grav transport. It is still attempting to maintain its historical level of control, but is now constantly debating opening or loosening aspects of its rule-set now that the threat of perpetual starvation is receding.

Urbanization

Rigidly spaced urban centers near water sources are the general rule. These cities are now being updated to Tech-C standards, with some historical preservation efforts.
