History & Background / Dossier

This is one of the six "homeworlds" of the Murians; one of a string of High Population worlds with A-class starports that are the backbone of their realm.

World Starport

Vinvahla 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)

Vinvahla has a population of 2,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
• The population consists of Murians.

World Technology Level

Vinvahla possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-4.

World Government

Vinvahla 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.

• Specifically, the population has ceded control of government functions to a vast computer-assisted bureaucracy kept efficient by citizen oversight.
• Any action undertaken by the Altarean Confederation requires the unanimous consent of all nine members of its governing Council and ratification by governments of the nine represented worlds, of which Vinvahla is one.
