The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's warmer inner H+ region
• It receives higher levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Zhefrstenabl is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

• The warm stormy seas are shrouded in fogs, steams, and hazes.

Satellites

Zhefrstenabl retains two small vacuum moons.

• The two worlds orbit every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

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

History & Background (Dossier)

Zhefrstenabl is a remote outpost serving as an exploratory and survey base within the region.

• It is sponsored and supported by the Zhodani Consulate as part of a gradual expansion into the region.
• The resources of the system are largely untapped.

A few private interests are active within the system.

• Commercial traffic is sporadic: ships occasionally visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• A vessel or two may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.
• Exploratory or survey vessels may be active in the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Zhefrstenabl 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.

• An Exploration Base is sited within the system.

World Population (P)

Zhefrstenabl has a population of 50 sophonts (tens).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without significant outside assistance. This may represent a transient population such as the crew of a starship, the final survivors of a dying colony, an advance team setting up to receive colonists, or a small outpost where establishing a colony is not the primary objective.

Urbanization

A single central facility, lying close to the starport, with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Zhefrstenabl 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 (G)

Zhefrstenabl is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
