Ducad is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It has few prospects for economic development. Life here is drastically bleak.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Loran Subsector of Halcyon Sector.
Astrography and Planetology
The Ducad system is a part of the Nist Cluster.
Ducad has four stars in the star system. Ducad

System data
Salvator-Claster system
The primary is Salvator, an ordinary red main sequence star with a luminosity of 0.04 Sols, a mass of 0.489 Sols, and a diameter of 764,000 km. (I) Ducad orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (II) a small gas giant, (III) a rocky trace atmosphere world, (IV) an exotic atmosphere world, and (V) a small icy vacuum world form the outer system. All of the world retain satellites.
The secondary is Claster, a red subdwarf star that orbits Salvator at 81 AU (12.1 billion km) and has an orbital period of XX years. It has a luminosity of 0.0182 Sols, a mass of 0.144 Sols, and a diameter of 314,000 km. (I, II) two small icy vacuum worlds, (III) an exotic atmosphere world, and (IV) a small icy vacuum world form the outer system.
Herzog-Lushan system
The tertiary is Herzog, an ordinary red main sequence star located approximately 2500 from Salvator: the pair orbit one another once every 180,000 years. Stanz has a luminosity of 0.0334 Sols, a mass of 0.4574 Sols, and a diameter of 711,000 km. (I) a large gas giant orbits in the habitable zone: it retains two relatively temperate satellites. (II) a small gas giant, (III) a rocky trace atmosphere world, and (IV) an icy vacuum world form the outer system.
The quaternary is Lushan, a brown dwarf with a diameter of 60,000 km. It orbits Herzog at a distance of 20.1 AU (3.157 billion km) and has an orbital period of XX years XX days. (I) a dense icy planetoid belt, and (II, III) two icy vacuum worlds form the outer system. Neither world retains satellites.

World starport
Ducad has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Ducad possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
- Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
- Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
- Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.
World government
Ducad is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
