Asura 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.

Description / Astrography & Planetology

This is a monostellar system with a yellow-white sub-giant primary star (spectral class F3, category IV). The habitable zone is somewhat far from the star, and the mainworld takes more than 1200 standard days to complete its annual orbit.

This solar system is located more than 150 parsecs rimward from the Hive Federation and the Solomani Confederation, in a sector which is mostly unaffected by those distant interstellar super-polities.

Asura has a solitary primary star.

System Data

System:

• 3 Gas Giants
• 0 Planetoid Belts
• 6 Other Worlds

Mainworld Data

The Asura system hosts a Naval Base, and is effectively the central base of government and military activities for the Asuran Empire.

Mainworld Atmosphere

Asura 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 Geography & Topography

Approximately 10% of this planet is covered with seas and bodies of waters; most of the surface is arid and dry. Wilderness refueling in the small lakes and seas may be impractical, and it could be easier to skim the gas giants elsewhere in this solar system rather than attempt to utilize the limited waters of this mainworld.

Native Lifeforms

Asura has a biosphere with diverse native lifeforms; the metabolic activities of these organisms help to maintain the proportions of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other chemistry in the atmosphere.

World Starport

Asura 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.

World Technology Level

Asura possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-4.

World Government

Asura is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés. The justifications for the original change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

Asura governs a colony in the Chemosh system (Phlange 1017), where there is an asteroid belt being actively explored and exploited for its mineral resources; Chemosh is a Red Zone which Asura strictly monitors in order to keep all of these resources under its control.

World Law Level

Asura has a moderate 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. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
