A southern continent is named Esral; a northern continent is Donathai.

Native Lifeforms

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

Native Sophont (NIL): Evantha

A people who have colonised a number of systems, unofficially still retaining a united identity under the Evantha Protectorate.

History & Background (Dossier)

Temeraire, also known as Castor to the Solomani, is an important, rich, agricultural world and the leader of the former Evantha Protectorate, long since assimilated into the Third Imperium.

Imperial High & Landed Nobility

Temeraire, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial baron.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial minor duke.

Temeraire 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.

• The downport is named Treydotha.
• There is an associated Naval Base, hosting elements of the Imperial 234th Fleet.

World Population (P)

Temeraire has a population of 20,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Demographics

• Evantha, population >= 60%
• Humaniti and other sophonts, population <= 40%

World Languages

• Anglic (influenced by both Core Anglic and Rim Anglic)
• Evantha languages: Currently the dominant language is Detran.
• Vilani

Urbanization

Most Evantha towns feature a cluster of slender, tall buildings surrounded by industrial centres, air and space ports, or hunting parks. Individual buildings are open and airy, with spacious rooms, balconies, and skylights. Shops and markets are open-air.

World Government (G)

Temeraire 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.

There are 73 nation-states on Temeraire, currently under the control of the Spiral Path political movement.

Municipal government is left to the citizens of individual cities and towns, using computerized direct-vote or representative democracy (depending on the local Tech Level), without much interference by the central body.

Few formalized procedures exist in Evantha society. Bureaucracy is alien to their culture; record-keeping is a necessary evil, but evil nonetheless.

World Law Level (L)

Temeraire has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).

World Technology Level (TL)

Temeraire possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A 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: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

Any cheap, high-quality technological goods may be welcomed here, although the Evantha tend to sneer at the mass-produced items of giant Human corporations as lacking in proper character.

World Culture

Evantha young are very dependent on their parents. Children accompany parents as much as possible, at home and during work. When they become adults, most find a substitute family by devoting themselves to a cause larger than themselves, not so much on its own merits as to give direction to their lives.

Trade

Evantha equipment is beautifully made and unlikely to break but costs at least 50% more than equivalent Human items; the result of Evanthan preference for individuality and style at the cost of standardization.
