Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Ninsponu 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.

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Certain carnivorous lifeforms -- and the habitats supporting them -- are protected due to their important role in predation of Hiver larvae. Hiver intelligence is the product of environmental stresses in infancy; avoiding these perils triggers the larva's capacity for consciousness.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
No information yet available.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Ninsponu 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.
- A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
- The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
- Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.
World Population (P)[edit]
Ninsponu has a population of 60,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
World Demographics[edit]
Hiver, population 95%
- Other, population 5%
World Languages[edit]
- Hiver Sign Language
- Gurvin
- Non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.
Urbanization[edit]
Hivers are fond of rounded shapes, domes, spheres and non-Euclidian architecture. This is ironic in that many schools of Hiver starship construction are focused around the opposite -- extremely square, boxy ships.
- Hivers like small, cramped domiciles with defined spaces and solid walls. Much of a Hiver nest is subterranean.
- Pet Snohl may be found in the deeper nests.
World Government (G)[edit]
Ninsponu has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.
World Military[edit]
As a member of the Hive Federation, this world can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
