Yaple is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Principality of Bruhkarr in the Liberty Hall Subsector of Beyond Sector.
• This world supports a Naval Base handling Principality of Bruhkarr warships.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Zhodani Consulate has helped the Principality of Bruhkarr establish a Psionic Institute on Yaple.

In 1104, the Principality of Bruhkarr's Royal Navy seized VE-204 Black Banshee at Dragonrest, accusing the crew of piracy and transporting them for trial at Yaple.

World Starport

Yaple 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Yaple has a population of 40,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Technology Level (T)

Yaple possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C 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 & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

World Government (G)

Yaple 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.

World Law (L)

Yaple 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. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

The regulatory and legal systems within the Principality of Bruhkarr are generally considered fair and uncorrupted, though big business has a lot of influence not enjoyed by the average citizen.

World Economy

The welfare of the average citizen is considered to a certain degree, but the 'Big Thirty' conglomerates are considered 'too big to fail' and are protected from poor economic decisions to the detriment of challengers.

World Culture

Psionic practices are part of standard therapies for the mentally ill and criminals but, unlike in the Zhodani Consulate, there is no official Thought Police, and the average citizen can purchase and use a psionic shield.
