Fastine is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• 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 mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by the Mavuzo, a sophont minor race, located in the Riftspin Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• About 70% of the population is made up of baseline humans.
• About 30% of the population is made up of Mavuzo.

Astrography and Planetology

The Fastine system lies on the coreward edge of Riftspin Subsector.

• It is considered a part of the Siridor Trace.

System Data

A diagram indicating the positions of all of the major worlds and satellites in the system.

• Expanded system data is available.
  
• x1 Mainworld. This orbits a gas giant world and lies in the outer system.
• x2 secondary worlds. One lies in the inner system and one lies in the habitable zone. Both are hostile exotic atmosphere worlds.
• x3 Planetoid belts. Two lie in the inner system and are the shattered remains of former worlds. One lies in the far outer system and is primarily made up of icy bodies.
• x3 Gas giants. All lie in the outer system.

Mainworld Data

Fastine has been designated the mainworld.

Mainworld Size (S)

This world is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

This world has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

This world has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

Satellites:

None.

History & Background (Dossier)

Fastine lives in fear of invasion by the Jaibok and absorption into the expanding Korsumug Empire.

• Intelligence indicates that the Jaibok are massing and Fastine is likely to be their next target. The aggressive Shadow Hoarde of the Imperial Korsumug Navy, under Grand Commodore Igaklin, has already conducted raids here.

World Starport

Fastine 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.

• Approximately 550,000 humans.
• Approximately 250,000 Mavuzo.

  • The most commonly spoken language within the system is Siri, a local dialect of Galanglic.
• Mavuri

World Technology Level

Fastine possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government

Fastine is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law

Fastine 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 Military

Fastine has a small, well-equipped professional army consisting of about 3000 personnel.

• This is supplemented by citizen militias, numbering some 100,000 in total.
• These are of extremely variable quality and are randomly equipped.

A number of Mavuzo military units and personnel are present on the world.

Large numbers of starmercs and mercenary units have been hired.

• Mercenaries are largely engaged in training citizen militias.
