Staci is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Inverness Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Staci 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)

Staci has a population of 500,000 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 has Zhodani, Imperial, and Vlazhdumecta heritage.
• Many families can trace their ancestry to pre-Long Night Vilani colonists.

Linguistic Topography

• Local languages descended from Vlazhdumecta.
• Riftian Anglic, a dialect of one of the two principal languages of the Imperium.
