History & Background (Dossier)

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

Bacelbron is a member of the Provalan Cluster, a minor trade route in the rimward-trailing part of Zarushagar Sector.

More than six millennia ago the system was settled by the Dishaan, an aggressive minor race who had gained jump technology from Vilani traders. For a time it was a member of the Ushkaq Sasutxi, the Dishaan Hegemony: when that fractious state was absorbed by the expanding Ziru Sirka during the Consolidation Wars, those Dishaan present in the system were removed and returned to Provalan, their homeworld.

  • Artifacts dating from the pre-Vilani Dishaan era are highly sought after and command premium prices.
  • Looting of historical sites carries heavy penalties.

The depopulated system was subsequently settled by Vilani colonists, whose descendants remained there throughout the Ziru Sirka, the Rule of Man, and the Long Night. They were resistant to Darmine influence thoughout this period and stayed relatively insular and independent until the founding of the Third Imperium. They became (reluctant) Imperial citizens following the Ilelish Pacification Campaign.

World Starport (St)

Bacelbron 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)

Bacelbron has a population of 6,000,000 sophonts (millions).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (T)

Bacelbron possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Law (L)

Bacelbron has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Bacelbron, 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 fiefdom of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

Later Historical Eras

Rebellion

Bacelbron, before the Rebellion, was the home of the sector's IISS Contact and Liaison School. While the IISS did an admirable job trying to maintain communications irrespective of factional interference, Lucan's policies regarding the Scouts in Zarushagar lead to defections from that service. (Lucan attempted to transfer all the IISS's sector assets to the Navy to support the Vengeance Fleet).

Bacelbron has become a sanctuary for those Scouts who wish to "voluntarily retire" from Lucan's IISS. Many of the defectors brought their families as well as many of their ships to their new home.

The Scouts of Bacelbron strongly influence the planetary government which wants to remain clear of any factional entanglements. The Scouts help them keep it that way, but welcome any visitors who come peacefully.
