Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Tryylin is a Big World between 15,200km and 16,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1.1G and 1.5G. The horizon will appear about 5.7km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

Mainworld Atmosphere

Tryylin 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)

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

Native Lifeforms

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

• K'ktapka: A colour-changing reptile-like creature

• Kok*hon: A parasitic animal known for its filthiness and lack of intelligence.

Native Sophonts

This is the homeworld of the Ithklur.

Ithklur are descended from carnivore-pouncers inhabiting a large, sparsely-forested plain in the temperate zone of Tryylin. It is not certain what stimulated the Ithklur to intelligence, tool-use, and civilization. The Ithklur maintain that "they are what they are", which is less than helpful.

History & Background (Dossier)

The homeworld of the species serving as the Hive Federation's primary military force, Tryylin is part of the Ithklur Cultural Reserve, a Federation sub-polity dedicated to Ithklur culture.

"Tryylin" is the planet's Gurvin, and thus standard, name. The native name is Eethk*kkaa, a variation of the Ithklur term for themselves, "Ithklur" or "lizard" and means "place where the lizards come from."

The planet gives its name to the Tryylin Watch, a region of Hive Federation operations.

World Starport

Tryylin has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Tryylin has a population of 400,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

• The population is almost entirely Ithklur.

World Government

Tryylin has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

World Law (L)

Tryylin has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture

To the mainstream Ithklur culture, the highest goal of any individual is awareness of one's true nature. That nature, being truth, has inherent integrity and is incorruptible. The Ithklur belief in a supreme power, called "the ultimate concern", does not follow patterns of ritualized worship. To live in the present moment, for there may never be another, is a key virtue.

• All Ithklur are considered to be a member of one of two groups: the elementary (Brunnen) or the enlightened (D*vakken). The latter have discovered their true nature and have taken on greater responsibility as a result.

Historical Data

When contact between Hivers and Ithklur occurred in -3986, the Ithklur had already developed in-system spaceflight, and represented the most advanced intelligence the Hivers had encountered in their 600 years of interstellar exploration. United under a single government, the Ithklur had advanced to TL-8 or 9, and were in the process of colonizing the system when the first Hiver ships attempted to establish trade.
