Mainworld Size (S)

Megoreshe is a Big World between 13,600km and 15,200km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1G and 1.3G. The horizon will appear about 5.4km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Megoreshe has an Insidious Atmosphere which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit, but extreme conditions cause the corrosive effects to defeat any personal protective measures in a few hours. TL–10 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

  • The world has an extremely hostile surface environment.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Megoreshe has no free-standing fluids on the surface. What little surface fluid exists consists of exotic substances that are corrosive and highly toxic. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds.

Satellites:

The world does not retain any natural satellites.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

  • Locally, detailed maps may be available.
  • Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
  • Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

History & Background (Dossier)

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

The system is a backwater, with limited development and seeing relatively little traffic. Some of the planets and moons within it have never had an intelligent being visit them.

  • Information about the system is sparse.
  • The limited resources of the system are being exploited.

There is little activity within the system.

  • Commercial traffic is very infrequent: ships rarely visit.
  • Commo occasionally picks up signals and private chatter. Communications are in Anglic.
  • One or two commercial navigation beacons may be active.
  • A vessel or two may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: additional groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

  • Verified updated data is constantly sought.

The microscopic subsurface organisms native to the world produce exotic compounds that command high prices.

World Starport (St)

Megoreshe has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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 (T)

Megoreshe possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)

Megoreshe is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

World Military

Privately retained security personnel.

World Law (L)

Megoreshe 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. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy

  • Resources: 7 (few)
  • Labor: 0 (none)
  • Infrastructure: 0 (non-existent)
  • Efficiency: +2 (good)

Trade Data

The world's only major export product is exotic compounds, created by primitive subsoil microorganisms.

World Demographics (P)

Urbanization

A single central facility with a few outlying structures and compounds.

  • Various resource harvesting sites with autonomous robot extractors doing the work are dotted across the surface.
  • Structures and facilities are sealed against local environmental conditions.
  • Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Culture

  • Homogeneity: 1 (monolithic)
  • Acceptance: 1 (extremely xenophobic)
  • Strangeness: 9 (extremely confusing)
  • Symbols: G (extremely abstract)
