Corinna is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial garden world.

  • Garden worlds are known for their near-ideal utopian environments conducive to most sophonts, plants, animals, and other forms of life.
  • It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly rise barring outside forces.
  • This is a "Reserve World" with restricted access, either to protect the indigenous lifeforms, to protect available resources, preserve pristine and idyllic real estate, or other reasons.
  • This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Euxene Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Mainworld Data

Corinna is a relatively young world, like many in this subsector group. It is of average size, with a dense atmosphere.

There is one large moon, an oblong captured asteroid, dubbed "Bone".

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Active tectonics are creating 3 major mountain ranges/archipelagos.

Mainworld Map

No information yet available.

Native Lifeforms

At least 2 forms of bipedal tree-dwelling species have been found thus far.

Colonies of these species seem to be clustered around Neozinga urban centers.

Native Sophont (NIL): Neozinga

The Neozinga was a minor race which apparently arose indigenously on Corinna. Neozinga is the Solomani term for this species, which is classified as a non-humanoid walker. More specifically, Neozinga were an winged insectoid/arthropod analog, massing between 25 and 50kg, with a body length of approximately 1m. Feeding was achieved by a long, sharp proboscis, much like a Terran mosquito. Venom could also be injected via separate fangs. There are some signs that there was a psionic element to feeding, but there is little solid evidence.

Their cities are difficult for humanoids to navigate, as both walking and flying are required for various locations. Their culture is not well-understood, but appears to have been highly cooperative, but within highly competitive tribes.

History & Background / Dossier

No information yet available.

World Starport

Corinna has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Corinna possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government

Corinna has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

World Law Level

Corinna has a moderate law 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. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Military

A military base is maintained and operated by the Solomani Confederation forces as an orbital installation.

Armed patrols are periodically launched to explore and patrol Neozinga urban centers for signs of activity.

World Economy

Corinna has a gross planetary product of 4 BCr. Its per-capita income is relatively high, reflecting that it is largely idyllic.


Economic Extension (Ex):

  • Resources: Very Abundant (C)
    • (Resources are any materials available for processing and exploitation. They include natural resources, minerals, ores, metals, energy sources, biological assets, and any other materials of limited availability.)
  • Labor: Thousands(3)
    • (Labor is the workforce available for the processing and exploitation of Resources.)
  • Infrastructure: Very Limited (3)
    • (Infrastructure is the established technical structures that support exploitation of resources. Infrastructure includes roads, power grids, communications, and factories.)
  • Efficiency" Poor (3)
    • (Efficiency reflects the current economic system, and includes sensible legal procedures, appropriate tariffs, customs promoting a balanced work ethic, rewards for merit, and social structures which match ability and job. Negative Efficiency is worse. Efficiency at -1 or less turn the RUs available negative: the Inefficiencies are so destructive as to make the economy a net drain. Such barriers represent a welfare state; cultural influences which do not value wealth, even physical limitations. On the other hand, since some economies have positive efficiencies: positive multipliers increasing available RU. )

Economic Extension:

  • (The Economic Extension (Ex) is the strength of a world economy and provides basic insights into the economy’s structure and capabilities.)
  • Resource Units- +/-TBD
    • (The world's budget.)

Trade Data

Trade is centered around foodstuffs export, tourism, and cultural archaeology.

Urbanization

  • Corinna has 2 primary population centres:
  • Corris (Class B downport/ population 14,000)
  • Vertis (Class D downport / population 6,000)
  • Ton Bleu (orbital complex) (Class B highport / population 800)

Corris and Vertis are human-built urban centers.

There are numerous ruined indigenous cities on Corinna, but the minor race that built them was obliterated by orbital bombardment.

Sol Corinna is the orbital military base for the mainworld. Its population is estimated at 1200.

World Infrastructure

This world possesses Poor (3) infrastructure. The local government is maintaining cultural centers, streets, electrical grids, wire/wireless communication, and a decent Worldnet. This infrastructure is clustered around Corris and Vertis, with only beaten paths to outlying homesteads.

That said, local populations are making use of the damaged Neozinga roadways when possible, particularly when doing archeological work in the major urban center near Corris.

World Demographics

Humanity 95%

Dolphin 5%

World Culture

A mixture of Ivraien culture with elements from Elyseen and Hypericum settlers.

The later have chosen to settle higher elevations in Vertis generally, while the Ivraien

colonists settle the coastal areas, which suits their physiological adaptations.

World Language/s
