Rickamil is a nonindustrial fluid world.

  • A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • Rickamil is the capital of the Free and Holy Federation of Amil in the Outrun Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Remarks

Mainworld Atmosphere

Rickamil has a high-nitrogen atmosphere subject to rather violent weather, and particularly electrical storms which pose a hazard to unprotected personnel and light structures.

History & Background (Dossier)

Rickamil was named for the religious leader Richard Amil, who led his followers out of the Collective (a now-defunct interstellar state in Gateway Sector, to Coreward) to create their own home on five worlds in Crucis Margin.

World Starport (Sp)

Rickamil 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.

  • Space traffic control in the Federation of Amil is a bit strange, since some stellar phenomena are considered holy and thus grounds to stop everything and give thanks. Some orbital regions are "auspicious" and permitted only to suitably anointed crews from among the Faithful.

World Economy

This world produces a Nye Class Caravel for merchant, passenger and trade operations.
