New Sydney is a rich, nonindustrial world.

  • 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.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
  • It is a member of the Zodia Colonies, part of the Aslan Hierate, in the Kaheaaihlyal Subsector of Iwahfuah Sector.
  • About 60% of the population is composed of humans.
  • About 40% of the population is composed of Aslan and other non-human sophonts.

History & Background (Dossier)

New Sydney (Trokh: Tafeilul), is a rich, non-industrial world. Although within Aslan Hierate space, New Sydney is one of the ten Zodia Colonies and populated by biological humans who are culturally Aslan.

  • Control of the world is split between multiple clans.
  • New Sydney also has a significant Chirper population, numbering some 3.2 million.

The Tafeilulhoaawli warriors society, which accepts warriors from all Aslan clans, is said to be headquartered in a desert oasis on New Sydney.

World Starport (Sp)

New Sydney 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)

New Sydney has a population of 8,000,000 sophonts (millions).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics

  • Human (Solomani), 60% of the official population
  • Aslan, 40% of the official population
  • Chirper, 3.2 million not part of the official census.
    • Note that all non-Chirper inhabitants are culturally Aslan.

World Government (G)

New Sydney is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Law Level (L)

New Sydney 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. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Technology Level (TL)

New Sydney possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
