Jump map from Travellermap.com

Vogar is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• 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 Veracruz Subsector of Alpha Crucis Sector.

• Despite the NaHu designation, Vogar's most prominent sophant population are actually Dolphins, which comprise 70% of the planet's population.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Vogar is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Vogar has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Vogar has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

History & Background (Dossier)

Located within the Veracruz Gap (part of The Shroud), Vogar benefits by being along the only route J-2 traders can reliably travel between the Spinward and Trailing worlds of the subsector.

Dolphin activists from Vogar have been agitating to convince the Uplifted Ape populations on Pijo to be more assertive in ensuring their overall social status relative to Humans.

World Starport (St)

Vogar 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)

Vogar has a population of 300,000 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.

World Demographics

• Vogar is one of the few worlds in Alpha Crucis to have an uplifted Dolphin majority that possesses political power. 70% of the population are Dolphin.
• The mainworld's Solomani Party belongs to the radical Dolphin Embracer faction. Vogar is not a member of the Solomani Confederation.

World Languages

• Anglic
• Delphinic Trinary
  • This language, also known as Delphinese, involves various clicks, rasps, chirps, creaks, hoots and whistles. Due to the spread of Dolphins across Charted Space, it has evolved into a multitude of dialects. It can take a Dolphin some time to learn a new dialect; errors are often seen by both parties as humorous.
  • For communication with Humans and other races, most Dolphins speak ordinary, if flowery, Anglic.

World Government

Vogar is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Military

No information yet available.
