=== Mainworld Data ===
 
=== Mainworld Data ===
The Reunion main world is a younger, rocky world of standard size and gravity.  It still retains a large amount of its atmosphere, and has the expected high amount of tectonic activity.
 
In many ways, this world is a slightly older version of Euxene.
 
  
==== Mainworld Geography & Topography ====
+
==== [[Planetary Size|Mainworld Size]] (S) ====
Reunion has several high and volcanic mountain ranges.  Because the mapped tectonic plates move rapidly, there are also an equal number of mid-plate mountain ranges that have eroded to more moderate heights, in the 15000m zone. There are 5 mid-sized to large seas on Reunion connected by a lengthy system of lakes, mostly near the equator in a belt arrangement. The river systems extend to the East (spinward) to a lowpoint ocean up against a wide plateau, the Plat.  This arrangement results in the higher latitudes being progressively drier, though Reunion does have substantial ice packs.

'''Reunion''' was colonized by a small group of wealthy industrialists in [[905]]. Those families, originating on [[Euxene (world)|Euxene]] and almost all with high-level connections to the military-industrial complex, retain ownership and control of most of the world to this day.

Reunion is different enough from [[Euxene_(world)|Euxene]] that it can market itself as a luxury getaway where the adventurous can "rough it" a bit. Given its tiny population relative to [[Euxene_(world)|Euxene]], it can also call itself "reclusive". The families that control the world also maintain exclusive [[Jump Drive|Jump-4]] transit rights from [[Nereus (world)|Nereus]] and [[Columbier (world)|Columbier]], and [[Jump Drive|Jump-5]] transit rights between [[Euxene (world)|Euxene]] and Reunion. The [[Euxene (world)|Euxene]]-based vessel ''Reunion Supreme II'' is the premier [[Jump Drive|high jump]] ship operating on the route.

Almost anyone ''could'' be a [[Solomani Security|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 Confederation|Solomani state]] and its interests.

The principal city is Paradis, a mountain community sitting atop a huge plateau. The design mirrors [[Euxene_(world)|Euxene]] construction and architecture. Below it is the optimistically named Reunion Urbanization Zone, a designated region sweeping down from mountainous Paradis, across the broad lowlands, to the shores of the lakes and seas: much of it is unspoiled wilderness, with little sign of any kind of urbanization. A smaller community, Nouvelle-sur-Vert, has been constructed near the closest sea and serves as an idyllic vacation spot.

Reunion is a nonindustrial, pre-rich world still lacking adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

  • This world has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
  • This world has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Stellar Data[edit]

Reunion has a solitary primary star.

  • It is an orange main sequence.
Reunion has a solitary primary star.

It is a sister star to the primary of the Myrthe system. Despite their slight differences in mass and luminosity, the two have almost identical chemical properties.

System Data[edit]

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Reunion is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Reunion has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

  • The atmosphere is a dense nitrogen-oxygen mix containing above average levels of helium. Within highland regions the pressure is equivalent to a standard atmosphere.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Reunion has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

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

The world has several volcanic mountain ranges, with the highest peaks extending to as high as 15,000 meters. There are five large seas connected by lakes, mostly near the equator.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

There are extremely large varieties of plant life and corresponding types of megafauna, which are still being categorized by local scientists.

  • New species of creatures are being discovered almost on a weekly basis.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

Reunion was colonized by a small group of wealthy industrialists in 905. Those families, originating on Euxene and almost all with high-level connections to the military-industrial complex, retain ownership and control of most of the world to this day.

Reunion is different enough from Euxene that it can market itself as a luxury getaway where the adventurous can "rough it" a bit. Given its tiny population relative to Euxene, it can also call itself "reclusive". The families that control the world also maintain exclusive Jump-4 transit rights from Nereus and Columbier, and Jump-5 transit rights between Euxene and Reunion. The Euxene-based vessel Reunion Supreme II is the premier high jump ship operating on the route.

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.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Reunion 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)[edit]

Reunion has a population of 400,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
  • The population almost entirely consists of Solomani humans.

Urbanization[edit]

The principal city is Paradis, a mountain community sitting atop a huge plateau. The design mirrors Euxene construction and architecture. Below it is the optimistically named Reunion Urbanization Zone, a designated region sweeping down from mountainous Paradis, across the broad lowlands, to the shores of the lakes and seas: much of it is unspoiled wilderness, with little sign of any kind of urbanization. A smaller community, Nouvelle-sur-Vert, has been constructed near the closest sea and serves as an idyllic vacation spot.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

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

World Government (G)[edit]

Reunion is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. 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.

The governing authority is the Reunion Board.

World Military[edit]

The Reunion Board maintains a small ground army and police force with access to the latest military and policing technologies.

The Republic maintains both a naval base and a major military base within the system to balance the military presence of the Confederation fleet at Monterey.

  • Local forces have an excellent rapport with the Republic military bases and their personnel, who take shore leave here regularly.

World Law (L)[edit]

Reunion 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.

Within Paradis, the law level excludes projectile weapons from the civilian ownership.

Trade Data[edit]

World Economy[edit]

World Culture[edit]

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:
