Futburg is a high-population, pre-rich world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• It lacks adequate resources to expand its economy to a rich status.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Ventura (Theta Borealis) Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Futburg is a trinary star system.

• The primary is a yellow main sequence.
• The secondary is a tiny white dwarf stellar remnant.
• The tertiary is an orange main sequence.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x9 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 planetoid belts.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Futburg is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Futburg has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Futburg has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites:

Futburg retains a small vacuum moon.

• It orbits once every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Futburg is a thriving, largely self-sufficient world with a solid industrial base and an advancing technological level.

• The resources of the system are being heavily exploited.

There is regular activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is frequent: ships regularly arrive and depart.
• Commo is buzzing with signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• Multiple commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• A number of vessels will be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Futburg has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

• The port is in the process of being upgraded to a Class B facility.

World Population (P)

Futburg has a population of 6,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

Urbanization

Multiple large cities, each surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• Cities are located across the world.
• Regional centers have their own spaceports.
• Some regions of the surface of the world remain as wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Futburg possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Futburg has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. A colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).

• Military justice is in force.
