Rii is an agricultural, nonindustrial, garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts.

  • 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.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to moderately rise in the near future.
  • It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
  • It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Glyah Subsector of Langere Sector.

World Starport

Rii 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)

Rii has a population of 200,000 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

World Languages

Urbanization

Za'tachk feel comfortable and safe in large groups; being alone means nobody can assist them if they are threatened or endangered, and Za'tachk are notoriously timid. Za'tachk cities are crowded, noisy and busy places.

World Technology Level

Rii possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
    • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
    • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
    • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
    • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government

Rii is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

Leadership falls to members of the matriarch sex (Ohyugua) of the ruling Nest.

World Military

Renowned for their timidity, Za'tachk make heavy use of drones piloted remotely, from a safe distance.

As a member of the Hive Federation, Rii can theoretically call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces. However, the timid Za'tachk are wary of Ithklur, whose exuberant violence they find alarming.

World Law Level (L)

Rii has a moderate 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 except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

On Za'tachk worlds, police rarely carry lethal weaponry. Instead, they use a kaath device, which fires an electrical induction beam that stimulates the brain's pleasure centre, rendering those hit helpless for a brief time.
