System Data[edit]

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

Mainworld Data[edit]

Vreibefger has a frozen climate and a dense oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere.

It orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

Chart Orbit HZ- Region Detailed.png

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Vreibefger is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Vreibefger 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Vreibefger has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

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

Native Lifeforms[edit]

The most well-known native species is the icebear, a ferocious-looking shaggy quadruped that weighs 135 kg and is occasionally hunted for its fur. The icebears are herbivorous and generally harmless, but when angered can be quite dangerous.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

Research Station Epsilon is located at a remote site on-planet, in the crater of an extinct volcano in the Molars, a peculiarly squared-off mountain range.

An associated research station is located in geosynchronous orbit over the site.

Elements of the Imperial 18th Fleet patrol the system.

In 874, the Imperium purchased the assets of the Octagon Society on Vreibefger and converted the grounds of the local shelter to an annex of the Research Station. By 1105 this station is engaged in stock breeding experiments as part of a long range project to improve several of the meat-producing animals of the Imperium. The octagon remains as a small part of the grounds and is used for storage.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Vreibefger 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)[edit]

Vreibefger has a population of 900,000 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.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Vreibefger possesses a Technology Level of TL–3.

World Government (G)[edit]

Vreibefger is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law (L)[edit]

Vreibefger 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. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Vreibefger, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the estate of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

World Economy[edit]

  • Resources: 7 (few)
  • Labor: 4 (tens of thousands)

  • Acceptance: 2 (very xenophobic)
  • Strangeness: 1 (very typical)
  • Symbols: 1 (extremely concrete)
