History & Background (Dossier)

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

More than six millennia ago the system was settled by the Dishaan, an aggressive minor race who had gained jump technology from Vilani traders. For a time it was a member of the Ushkaq Sasutxi, the Dishaan Hegemony: when that fractious state was absorbed by the expanding Ziru Sirka during the Consolidation Wars, those Dishaan present in the system were removed and returned to Provalan, their homeworld.

World Starport (St)

Dust 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 Population (P)

Dust has a population of 70,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (T)

Dust possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)

Dust 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.

World Law (L)

Dust 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. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
