Rovick 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.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Palasha Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • It lies on the Delphi Main.
  • At the founding of the Imperium this world was known as Gaiid.

Mainworld Data

  • The planet has an axial tilt of 22.28 degrees
  • Rovick has a sidereal day length of 43.36 hours
  • The planet takes 34.61 days to rotate around its sun.
  • Rovick has 2 tectonic plates that have created a huge rift on the planets surface. Near the rift area there is regular seismic activity with frequent tremors causing the surface to crack further.
  • Life does exist on the planet in the form of insects that are both ground based and flying whilst in the oceans shell fish and other aquatic life exists. The planet has numerous dense forests of giant fern like plant life along with grass filled plains.

Mainworld Size (S)

Rovick is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

  • The planetary surface has been surveyed and has an established diameter of 7301 km.
  • The survey carried out has confirmed the planetary core is mostly rock with a density of 0.74 of standard
  • The surface gravity of the world has been confirmed as 0.424 standard and is defined as low gravity.
  • The mass of Rovick is 0.139 of standard.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Rovick has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Rovick has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)

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

Rovick lies on the Delphi Main, an important trade route straddling the border between Massilia Sector and Delphi Sector.

At the dawn of the Imperium this world had no permanent population. Facilities were being constructed and infrastructure was being emplaced, funded by speculators and investors in anticipation of large-scale settlement and commercial development and designed to give the world a predetermined basic Tech Level. There were often hundreds of personnel and specialists working or operating within the system, but they were not considered residents.

World Starport (St)

Rovick has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World Population (P)

Rovick has a population of 80,000 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.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (T)

Rovick possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
    • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
    • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
    • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Rovick is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

World Law (L)

Rovick 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.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Rovick, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the estate of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.
