Affinity is a rich, nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • 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 member of the Third Imperium in the Chant Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world was colonized by and is controlled from Ase (world).

Description (Planetology)

Affinity has two moons: Rapport, which orbits in a prograde direction, quite closely at about 85,000 kilometres; and Chum, a much smaller captured satellite.

Mainworld Topography

While there are no permanent land masses above the surface, at any given time the world has dozens of transitory islands, low, flat protuberances that rise above the surface when the tides have ebbed.
