Bruda is a low-population garden world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• It is a garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most forms of sophontic life.
• Both the population and economy of this world are expected to grow in the near future barring outside forces.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Clatt Subsector of Matzen Sector.

• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• The mainworld name is pronounced "Broo-daar"

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

• Bruda has an orbital period of 309.88 days
• The rotational period for Bruda is 18.55 hours
• The planet has an axial tilt of 20 degrees
• The planet is in the process of being terraformed and the surface temperature of the planet is being slowly reduced. It is still hot c40c all year round however this is effectively countered by equipment and gear used by those who call Bruda home.

Mainworld Size (S)

Bruda is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

• The planet has a diameter of 8951 miles / 14321 kilometres
• Bruda has a molten core with a density of 0.94 standard
• The surface gravity of the planet is 0.94 standard and is therefore classified as having normal gravity

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Bruda has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Bruda has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites:

• Bruda has no satellites in orbit.

World Starport (St)

Bruda has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Technology Level (T)

Bruda possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government (G)

Bruda is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

• What should also be noted is that the world government represents the original colonists on Bruda who had settled there in crystal mining colonies c150 years ago. In addition to these colonists the corporation now terraforming the planet has their own secure compound(s) and indeed operate the starport located on the surface. This does cause friction with the locals who take steps to avoid interactions with the "interlopers" who have polluted their world.

World Military

No information yet available.

World Law (L)

Bruda has a low law level. 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. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
