History & Background (Dossier)

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

The Quesadan Inquisition is known to be active on the world. It is a religiously sponsored investigative agency with powers of detainment that is charged with rooting out heretical thinking.

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.

The Arias downport is considered neutral-ground and a business site.

Urbanization

All roads lead to the Arias Downport, are parallel to a heavy-rail line, and end in a low-tech mining settlement.

Each of the 6 mining settlements are self-governing.

World Culture

Arias' culture still pays homage to the Church, and each settlement has a Dedicated Dome that is the spiritual center. That said, the ideals of proper dress and occupation are largely considered "academic" and are taught-but-not-done. Practicality overrules such dictates. Some rules regarding social interaction do remain, particularly those between men and women. Arian families each maintain a physical, bound carbon-fiber copy of the Quesadan Bible, passed from father to eldest son. The Church procures additional books as needed, at no cost.

Each of the settlements is largely built of interconnected Orient domes.

The oldest settlement is called Ersterein, and is currently mostly abandoned. Its plastic domes have noticeable damage and only a few retain structural integrity.

The largest settlement is the second oldest one: Kabume. It was constructed originally using a nuclear mining charge. An extra-large Orient dome, mark IV, has been carefully situated above the chamber created, and structurally bolstered. The chamber beneath is largely airtight, and holds a multilevel set of internal domes, cubes, and spheres in clusters of multi-family arrangements. The bottom is concrete-filled with beryllium and lead shielding to insulate from the embers of the original radioactive glass at the bottom of the chamber. The actual reactor set is located in a connected chamber, bored in a conventional manner. Other side chambers have been constructed similarly for Administration, law enforcement, and a set of hydroponics farms.

Kabume's population is made mostly of the former population of Ersterein and their descendants.
