Pavabid (world)

Pavabid (0408-C6678D8-6) is in District 268, a subsector of the Spinward Marches. Pavabid is ruled by a religious dictatorship. This deeply-entrenched theocracy is a rigid offshoot of the widespread Church of the Stellar Divinity, led by the Son of the Star, Thearch and Divine Ruler of Pavabid. All activities are regarded as religious in nature, and the church has laid down rules of behavior for even the most mundane aspects of everyday life. Offworlders are permitted on the planet only at the Pavabid Starport and Trade Enclave. This area of four square kilometers is completely cut off from the rest of Pavabid by hundreds of kilometers of wilderness and water, in order to prevent outside contamination of pure Pavabidian society. It is staffed by only the most loyal members of the Thearchy and guarded by church troops. The law level in the trade enclave is 8; in normal Pavabid society it is 9 or even A. The Travellers' Aid Society classifies Pavabid as amber (dangerous) because it is easy to run afoul of its many laws, even in the trade enclave.

Pavabid is potentially a rich world, but its severe trade restrictions have kept its wealth and tech level lower than those of its neighbors, Collace and Trexalon. Pavabid's near-average gravity, standard atmosphere, temperate weather-systems, and bountiful water make for a physically pleasant world. However, Pavabid's population of about 700 million people live in a stagnant, rigid society. Since immigration and emigration are illegal, and information is strictly controlled, the majority of the inhabitants can conceive of no other style of life. Most live in small towns built around light industry, separated from each other by agricultural districts.
