Jump map from Travellermap.com

Htalrea is a rich, agricultural, nonindustrial garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts and high-grade living conditions due to a bustling economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a Non-Aligned Aslan-dominated State located in the Ea Subsector of the Reaver's Deep Sector.
• It is the homeworld of the Polyphemes, a sophont species and a minor race.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Htalrea 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)

Htalrea has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Htalrea has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Native Sophont: Polypheme

Only the most basic information is known concerning Htalrea, as the Aslan merchants trading here have been careful to guard their historical monopoly. Very old records of surveys indicate that the natives species is to be found on the North Continent.

History & Background (Dossier)

Htalrea is the home of the Polyphemes, a minor race, and the Risth, a 200kg pouncer, prized for its scent glands that are the source of the valuable risthscent.

In 1109, Caledon Ventures made contact and opened up trade with the native Polyphemes. In 1113 they set up a permanent trade base, in an effort to break the monopoly of the Aslan corporation Tlasayerlahel on risthscent.

• Contact was lost with the base in 1114 when Tlasayerlahel retaliated and destroyed it. This appears to be a prelude to further operations against Caledon Ventures, which has in recent years encroached upon Tlasayerlahel domination of Ea subsector.

World Starport (Sp)

Htalrea has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World Population (P)

Htalrea has a population of 1,000,000 sophonts (millions).

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

World Government (G)

Htalrea is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

World Law Level (L)

Htalrea has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. 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.

World Technology Level (TL)

Htalrea possesses a Technology Level of TL–1.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Runners or beast relay and long distance signaling such as the heliograph and semaphore.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Muscle power and water wheels.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Riding animals, rickshaws, carts or other creature-drawn wheeled vehicles.
  • Water: Rowed galleys and early sailing vessels.
  • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability or ride-able flying beasts available.
