Hertha is a preindustrial world.
- As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This world hopes to one day be one of the subsectors industrial powerhouses, but hasn't realized that dream yet. The leaders of this world are regularly embarking on trade missions to attract more investment capital, worker-immigrants, and other necessary stepping stones to achieve this goal.
Hertha is a vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.
- Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
- It is an icy world, its surface is ice-capped and nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Rigel Subsector of Rigel Sector.

Mainworld Data
Hertha has a Good Starport with shipyards able of handling Spacecraft up to the Overhaul level, and provides Refined fuel. The main world is roughly 7,700 kilometers in diameter, and is a Small terrestrial with gravity of 0.15G . The atmosphere has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmosphere, which requires the use of a vacc suit. The surface is roughly 65 percent surface ice, which qualifies it as a wet world. The main world has a general population of 20 Million local residents, which qualifies it as a Moderate population world. The local government is characterized as Representative Democracy, with government by elected representatives. Visitors may find the law highly restrictive as weapons outside the home are regulated or restricted by local authorities.

History & Background (Dossier)
631 : First visited and catalogued by a ship from Skanor. Documented as as an uninhabited vacuum, ice world.
700 : Scientific research team arrive from Skanor to investigate the world. Life was found in the form of nanobes living in the water that is in liquid form under the the surface ice.
725 : Significant deposits of lanthanum were discovered in an extensive cavern system under one of the land masses.
728 : Skania Pact worlds agreed to combine their resources to build a starport, seal, heat and add air to the cavern system, and setup a penal colony on Hertha to mine the lanthanum.

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 technology level
Hertha possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
- Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
- Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
- Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
- FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.
World government
Hertha is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
