Farreach is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • 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.
  • It is a member of the Zhodani Consulate in the Province of Iadr Nsobl, in the Jewell Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

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

Farreach is a Danger World and is designated as an Amber Zone. It presents particular risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that are not well understood.

  • Visitors are advised to act with caution.

Farreach is a part of six worlds that form a thin strip of Zhodani territory projecting into the subsector known as the Riverland Wall. The heavily fortified system contains an important Zhodani naval base.

During the opening of the Fifth Frontier War the Zhodani 1st Assault Fleet struck from Farreach through Louzy (Spinward Marches 1604) for Efate (Spinward Marches 1705) and began the siege of that world.

The famed 4518th Lift Infantry Regiment fought at Farreach during the Third Frontier War.

World Starport (St)

Farreach 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 Population (P)

Farreach has a population of 40,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
  • The world is home to a large number of Vargr.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are most commonly heard:

World Technology Level (T)

Farreach possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)

Farreach has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Law (L)

Farreach has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. 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.
