History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

1105

Gogviksaer 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.
In this era, Gogviksaer is a member world of the Windhorn Pact of Two, rimward province.

1200

Gogviksaer has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Government

Summary

n.b. There was no actual change of governmental structure between 1105 and 1200. The

1105

Gogviksaer is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Law Level

The change of law level remained unchanged despite the passage of Virus and Empress Wave Gogviksaer has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. 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).

World Military

Agricultural Sector

The agricultural sector consists of widespread subsistence farming with a population of about 50,000 per million square kilometres in the farming areas. It is of particular note that there is considerable Aquiculture and some Ice-farming. (See Map)

World Culture

Urbanization

The Starport's Startown is the only area with a population of over 10,000 on the whole planet.

Architecture

The local architecture is vernacular and small-scale. The buildings reflect the need for security and many villages are walled or moated to provide protection from casual violence.

Startown was destroyed in the Vampire raids of 1145 and has been rebuilt in the vernacular style for lack of off-world building technologies.

Historical Data

Virus to Wave

The Virus destruction of the starport facilities was, in many ways the lesser of the issues - it was the closure of the trade routes that had a disastrous effect on the world's technology. The vanishing of these routes meant that the off-world markets vanished which pushed the craftsmen out of the main town and into the villages - taking their skills with them. Thereafter it was a slow regression from internal combustion engine to animal power - while the manufacture of steam-powered replacements lagged for lack of supply of iron-ore.

After the Wave

The various villages recovered quite quickly from the Empress Wave. The Startown, more reliant on supply chains for food supplies, was hard hit - and starving troops tended to monopolise what stores were available in the immediate aftermath. The most obvious non-effect was that the pre-existing bureaucracy was re-established relatively quickly - often with different office-holders - but the overall shape of government remained unchanged.
