Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

  • It lies within the zones prime H region.
  • It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Chart H Region Mw.png

Raschev is a fairly large world, measuring around 13,000 km in diameter with a standard atmosphere and water covering 90% of the world surface. The climate is similar to that of Terra, with the inhabited areas concentrated in the southern temperate zone on a single subtropical continent.

  • The weather tends to be rather more moderate than usual for Earth-like planets, with temperatures usually ranging from around 10°C to 25°C.

Mainworld Size (S)

Raschev 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.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Raschev 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)

Raschev has 85-95% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few small continents, and a number of islands and archipelagos. Dry land is limited. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

  • Raschev's single continent is a jumbled mixture of rich farmlands, broken terrain, mountain ridges, and forests.

Native Lifeforms

Raschev has an extremely varied and diverse biosphere that is largely unexplored and uncatalogued. A very large number of the species are amphibious and multi-legged.

History & Background (Dossier)

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Raschev is an Imperial Client State located on a branch of the Spinward Main in the Reidain Subsector of Foreven Sector.

The world was first settled by colonists from the Imperium about two centuries ago. It remains a comparative backwater where off-world ships rarely land, with the exception of a packet from Garoo (Spinward Marches 0130) every 3 months. As a result, there is a general attitude of respect, even awe, for off-world technology; the people are inclined to look up to off-worlders in general and Imperials in particular.

Although Raschev is an unimportant world and an unlikely marketplace, it lies on a safe route for jump-1 starships to the center of the subsector.

World Starport

Raschev 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 Population (P)

Raschev has a population of 10,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

Urbanization

Communities are small, each having perhaps 8,000 to 10,000 inhabitants.

  • Most of the settlements rely heavily on the fishing industry for their livelihood, although privately owned farms are also numerous in the open areas around them.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are most commonly heard:

World Technology Level (T)

Raschev possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

World Government (G)

Raschev is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

World Law (L)

Raschev 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 Economy

All suitable land on the surface is turned over to farming. Fishing and aquaculture is a major industry on the world.
