System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.

History & Background (Dossier)

The government of Dallia attempted a buyout of the Ag Worlds Combine in 840 in an attempt to secure a steady supply of food for its growing population. This attempt was rejected by the combine.

In 1112 Dallia forced control over Tarkine (Spinward Marches 1434), but only by agreeing to keep up the previous commitments for production from the Combine.

World Starport (St)

Dallia 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.

World Population (P)

Dallia has a population of 600,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

Urbanization

Almost the entire population of Dallia lives in an underground city built long ago by beings unknown. The facility has been studied by Ancients experts, who claim that the technology is different from that typically used by the Ancients. The citizens are more or less self-sufficient, and quite capable of maintaining their life-support and water-extraction equipment.

World Technology Level (T)

Dallia 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 (G)

Dallia is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Law (L)

Dallia 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.

Trade Data

• Importance: 2 (ordinary)

World Economy

The profits to be made from harvesting chemicals from Dallia’s rather nasty surface have prompted more than a small fraction of the population to form corporations, build equipment and start reaping the weird wealth of their world. These companies are small and entrepreneurial in nature. Competition can occasionally become violent.

• Resources: B (abundant)
• Labor: 7 (tens of millions)
• Infrastructure: B (very extensive)
• Efficiency: -1 (average)

World Culture

• Heterogenity: 5 (harmonious)
• Acceptance: A (very friendly)
• Strangeness: 2 (typical)
• Symbols: 6 (somewhat concrete)
