Adabicci (1824 Spinward Marches A57189B-B N 801 Im K8 V M8 D)

  • Spinward Main
  • XBoat Link (Lunion-Biter)
  • On Al Morai route (Lunion-Biter)
  • Gravity: 0.7; Orbit 1 ('O'); Base Mean Temp: 310.3 K (37 C)
  • Home to a Dynastic Theocracy with a recent penchant for bloody transitions of power from one generation to the next. The most recent event was in 1124, complete with riots, action between two factions of the military, and intervention by the Imperial Navy.
  • The one major body of water is wide and shallow, and very salty. The native species of fish are all adapted to these conditions, and with one exception are all poisonous to humaniti. The one edible species has a long history of near-deification among the people of Adabicci, including an annual display of captured examples used in a ritual divination rite/fish-fry.
  • A local legend tells of a "Wise Lizard" which, centuries ago, imparted the locals with their current belief system. Recent evidence suggests that this Wise Lizard may have been a wayward Ithklur.
  • The atmospheric taint has largely to do with the blowing sands of this world, and the poisonous elements often found in those sands. Under certain weather conditions the deserts have been known to produce "killer fogs" that can, if blown across a settled area, kill hundreds.
  • The hot equatorial zone is home to a heretical society (from the rulers point of view) that prefers to be left alone. Skirmishes between them and the planetary military are not uncommon, and the Heretics are increasingly better armed in recent years.
  • The entire system is considered water-scarce, and the planet occupying the Primary's habitable zone (orbit 0) is no exception. At mean temperatures high enough to boil what water is present, the world attracts very little attention.
  • The Naval presence in this system is largely limited to the one gas giant. The social structures on Adabicci do not lend themselves well to standard Naval shoreleave, so the Navy generally grants Leave in other systems. The Navy is present largely as a deterrant to the Sword Worlds, and for backing up the occupation of the Border Worlds by the Imperium.
  • Adabicci's starport is largely orbital, with only basic ground facilities (ground facilities are equal only to a C-class port). The port offers all Imperial Standard services, but notably lacks any flavor imparted by the people or culture of Adabicci.
  • Only a small portion of Adabicci's population is at all cosmopolitan with regards to the Imperial starfaring culture.
