Jump map from Travellermap.com

Tlaiowaha is a poor, non-agricultural, industrial, high-population desert hellworld, with a billion or more sophonts struggling to survive in a inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• Despite this world's industrial prowess, it remains poor. Some blame this on the high prices of food, which must be imported. Others blame the nature of a hellworld. Whatever this reason, something needs to change in order for this world to prosper.
• This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, controlled by the Tlaukhu Bloc 7, composed of the Ikhtealyo, Tlerlearlyo, Yetahikh clans, in the Tlaiowaha Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

• This world has an Aslan Tlaukhu Base, which may combine the features of an army base for ground forces, a scout base, or even a naval base for starships.

	Remarks

Point of Interest: Tlaiowaha Anchorage

• Tlaiowaha is the most important system in the subsector and contains Tlaiowaha Anchorage, the largest Aslan military base in the sector.
• While Tlaiowaha is primarily a military fortress, the inner chambers of the Anchorage contain lavish displays of the full grandeur and power of the Hierate.
• The Aslan uses these facilities for state functions to impress their guests.

History & Background (Dossier)

Tlaiowaha is a poor, desert hellworld, a heavily industrialized, high population member of the Aslan Hierate owned by the Tlaiowaha Clan.

World Starport

Tlaiowaha 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Languages

• Trokh: The universal language of the modern Aslan monoculture.
  • Aslan Languages: Note that some Aslan clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.

World Law (L)

Tlaiowaha has a moderate law 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. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Criminal acts are rare but not unheard of in Aslan society. Crimes are different from the insults or slurs that provoke duels, and are classified into three categories: crimes of passion, crimes with victims, and crimes of honour.

• Crimes of passion involve misbehavior prompted by temper, anger, or provocation. The accused is judged by the head of the family, pride, or clan involved.
• Crimes with victims involve taking money or items of value, or violating the person of another for profit (kidnapping, terrorism, piracy). General practice is to have an impartial earleatrais consider the case and present findings.
• Crimes of honour involve failure to observe the rituals established for social behaviour. Judgement is made by the pride or clan head, depending on the severity of the crime. Crimes of honour are the most serious in Aslan society; in practice, most are never tried as a duel to the death occurs first.
