Clan was the first world in the Jewell subsector to be colonized by the Zhodani in 320. Witnessing the expansion of the Imperium, the Consulate saw the benefit in establishing their borders before the Imperium dominated the subsector. Many colonists settled on Clan to help establish the Zhodani presence in Jewell. Clan lacks water, so agricultural areas are limited. Clan also lacks minerals and other resources but the population of half a billion people have always managed to sustain themselves. {{Page cite|name=Tripwire|page=3,11-13|citeName=TW-1}}

Clan is a moderate population pre-industrial hellworld, with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • This world would like to become a major industrial powerhouse in the subsector, but lacks the population and resources to build an adequate workforce and industrial business sector.
  • It is a member of the Zhodani Consulate in the Province of Iadr Nsobl, in the Jewell Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

System Data[edit]

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

Mainworld Data[edit]

The planet has a warm climate and a standard oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere tainted by suspended debris due to the world's dry nature. Clan is sometimes called the gateway to the Riverland Cluster, and all ships entering the system are subject to Zhodani naval escorts.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Clan 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.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Clan has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Clan has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. 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.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

Clan was the first world in the Jewell subsector to be colonized by the Zhodani in 320. Witnessing the expansion of the Imperium, the Consulate saw the benefit in establishing their borders before the Imperium dominated the subsector. Many colonists settled on Clan to help establish the Zhodani presence in Jewell. Clan lacks water, so agricultural areas are limited. Clan also lacks minerals and other resources but the population of half a billion people have always managed to sustain themselves. [2]

Clan is a Puzzle World and is designated as an Amber Zone. It presents particular risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that are not well understood.

  • Visitors are advised to act with caution.

Clan is seen by the Zhodani as so strategically vital that no Imperial vessel is allowed to enter the system without a Zhodani escort.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Clan 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]

Clan has a population of 900,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are most commonly heard:

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Clan possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Clan is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

The Zhodani Consulate maintains itself through a variety of taxes on goods and services. Each council -- planetary or higher -- has the authority to levy a tax on gross income to support services like hospitals, emergency and transport services, or the Tavrchedl'.

World Military[edit]

An Unabsorbed World is not usually permitted to maintain armed forces (other than police).

World Law (L)[edit]

Clan has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).

Three broad categories of crime are recognized by the Zhodani Consulate: inadvertent, incited, and insane. The concept of premeditated crime for personal gain fits under the insane heading.

  • Inadvertent crime is an unintentional violation or infraction of the law, resulting from inattention. For minor cases the usual punishment is a small fine.
  • Incited crime is an infraction of a law brought about by another, often resulting from an overreaction to inadvertent crime or misfortune. The solution is re-education.
  • Insane crime is a general heading for most major crimes against property or individuals.
