Majadita is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
  • It is a member of the Grand United States of Quesada, which is a member state of the Solomani Confederation, in the Firdausi Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.


Description / Astrography & Planetology

World Starport

Majadita has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Technology Level

Majadita possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

World Government

Majadita is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law Level

Majadita has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture

Despite the hopes of our scout party, we again were met by a standard "greeting party" of heavily-armed citizens. We provided a brief written note on the ground, said nothing, and pulled back closer to the downport exit portal. Our note explained that we were Confederation Scouts making a routine cultural survey, and offered their leadership a chance to provide a formal statement for the record. This time, they asked us to wait for a bit. After an hour, a couple of the men in engineering attire returned with a thin sheaf of papers, a small holy book, and a ruby pendent. The papers stated their purpose as a spiritual enclave in opposition to the decadent ways of the Holyman, that they were providing us a copy of their "purified" holy text (attached), and asking that the pendent be delivered to the true Holyman currently on Home (physical address attached).

The group leaders then drew themselves up, thanking us for our silence and consideration, and wishing us a safe journey Home.

Urbanization

Orbital observation confirms 10 urban centers distributed along the warm side of the ring ocean. The atmosphere is breathable in this zone. Each center is surrounded by agricultural areas, which appear to grow bioengineered crops, possibly of Ivraien origin.
