Othaunlere 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 Gimgir Subsector of Antares Sector in the Domain of Antares.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • This world is controlled by Irale

History & Background (Dossier)

Othaunlere is an quiet, pleasant world without heavy industrialization and few commercially viable exports aside from raw materials. There is abundant native life here in an elegant collection of ecosystems. Ambitious local farmers are still struggling to bring in yields above the self sufficient level. Excess agricultural yield with improved efficiency is hoped to lead to lucrative contracts for off world trade. As yet the subsector at large is unaware of their unique crops and produce. There are some vocal conservationists and imperial xenobiologists who want to stifle large scale agricultural production, for fear of its destructive impact on indigenous food webs.

The local baronet and his loyal knight preside over a small but efficient port; the starport is proud of their patriotic contributions. Local security services are strained however, when army assault units from the orbiting Irale Class Brigade Transports disgorge a battalion or two of soldiers from the Gimgir Subsector Imperial Army Legion for shore leave. Many local farmers have taken to locking up their daughters and sons.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Othaunlere, 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.

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.
