Native Lifeforms
Plant life defends itself with toxins. The Za'tachk evolved sensitive bitterness preceptors in their mouth lining to assist them in discerning which plants were best to eat. To further aid in the digestion of native plants, Za'tachk consume clay which lines their stomachs and binds with the toxins.
Native Sophont (NIL): Za'tachk
The Za'tachk are descended from trisexual omnivore/gatherers. They are quadripedal; like the Hivers, they use their limbs equally well for movement or grasping. They are similar in size and weight to the Hivers.
History & Background (Dossier)
Loza'tch is a high-population Hive Federation world located in Za'tachk, subsector K of Wrenton Sector.
World Starport
Loza'tch has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World Technology Level
Loza'tch possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
- Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
- Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-1.
World Government
Loza'tch is governed by a Hiver committee which maintains distributed control through widespread popular support and manipulation.
This is the capital of the Za'tachk Alignment subpolity. Local government of Loza'tch comprises three councils (as expected from Za'tachk), one each for the executive, representative and judicial branches of governance.
World Law Level
On Za'tachk worlds, police rarely carry lethal weaponry. Instead, they use a kaath device, which fires an electrical induction beam that stimulates the brain's pleasure centre, rendering those hit helpless for a brief time.
World Military
The standard military is equipped with TL-10 gear, while elite forces are equipped with TL-11 or 12 equipment imported from offworld. Renowned for their timidity, Za'tachk make heavy use of drones piloted remotely, from a safe distance.
The flagship of the planetary navy is a TL-10 65,000-ton heavy cruiser, the Lodrenakinuth.
World Economy
Loza'tch primarily imports raw materials for manufacturing weapons (an irony often noted, given the peaceful and timid nature of the locals), basic consumables and luxury items. Primary exports, apart from weapons, are composite alloys and information.
Heavy industrial areas are located on the outskirts of cities, away from habitation areas. This is yet another reflection of the overly cautious Za'tachk mindset.
World Demographics
No Ithklur are permitted on Loza'tch, as the conflict-averse and timid Za'tachk find them alarming.
World Culture
Theatre is a popular entertainment. Like their other art forms, Za'tachk theatre is rather soulless and dry, being more akin to a history lesson than art.
World Language/s
Urbanization
Za'tachk feel comfortable and safe in large groups; being alone means nobody can assist them if they are threatened or endangered, and Za'tachk are notoriously timid. Za'tachk cities are crowded, noisy and busy places.
