Description (Astrography & Planetology)
No information yet available.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)
Brang has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
History & Background (Dossier)
This is a member world of the Anubian Trade Coalition, part of a string of highly-developed systems.
World Starport (Sp)
Brang 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.
- All traffic to and from the surface is by small craft and boats operated by regulated and controlled ATC operators. This has resulted in the A-class rating of the high port being somewhat misleading in practice. This is a deliberate move to prevent smuggling, particularly human smuggling as workers frequently try to escape from ATC-dominated worlds.
World Population (P)
Brang has a population of 400 sophonts (hundreds).
- This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
World Government (G)
Brang has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.
Governance of this world is from Anubis.
World Technology Level (TL)
Brang possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B 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-2.
Economy
The internal currency of the Anubian Trade Coalition is the Florin. It trades at about 5 to 1 with the Imperial credit.
World Culture
Anubian society is heavily stratified and class oriented. Social mobility is limited. Most aspects of life in the Coalition are either an experience of privilege for the top classes of society, or heavy-handed repression and toil for the lower working classes.
