Hyperborea is a nonindustrial fluid world.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• 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.
• This is a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.
• This is a frozen world, with a climate of extremely low temperatures.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Euxene Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

System Data

The Hyperborea system has a total of 8 defined worlds.

There are 2 rocky worlds orbiting close to the G8 star, followed by the local Gas Giant, Tritia.

Hyperborea is the largest of 4 moons of a large Gas Giant about 12AU from the G8 star. It is tidally locked to the planet.

The M-class red dwarf orbits its sister at approximately 220AU, and has 2 rocky planets of its own.

Mainworld Data

Hyperborea is a large moon, with some gravitationally-induced tectonic activity. Given its distance from the local star, it is a cold world. There are liquid seas of methane-ethane, and an atmosphere made of a methane-nitrogen mix.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

There are large areas covered in water-ice or exposed rock that are suitable for landing. Most surface features are from old large asteroid impacts; smaller craters have obviously been worn away by wind and the organic-rain.

There seems to be a single contiguous world-ocean than encircles the equator.

World Starport

Hyperborea 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 current government has declared martial law both on the surface and on their Highport. All visiting starships are subject to immediate search. Any materials deemed strategic and/or necessary are subject to seizure without guarantee of compensation, up to and including the vessel itself.

World Technology Level

Hyperborea 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

Hyperborea is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Law Level

Hyperborea has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). All aspects of life rigidly controlled. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

World Military

At least 15% of the population is associated with the government military-police and their paramilitary support groups.

World Economy

The manufacturing base produces advanced plastics and plastic products using the abundant organics in the environment.

The capitol and main planetary city is the eponymously named Hyperborea City. The city is constructed of locally produced plastic infrastructure reinforced with imported advanced materials.

Trade Data

Some raw organics are exported, but the largest products are advanced plastics.
