House Lu is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- 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 Hive Federation in the Flux Subsector of Spica Sector.
- This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.

History & Background / Dossier
There is an Ancients site here. Rare in Hive Federation space, which is largely outside the zone of recognised Ancient activity, this installation has attracted much attention from the characteristically curious Hivers. The Solomani Confederation would like to know more about what the Hivers have found or tinkered with, but unfortunately for them the Hive Federation naval base at Tiring Antes is perfectly situated to prevent unwelcome incursions.
World Starport
House Lu has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. 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
House Lu possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.

World Government
House Lu is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.
In this case, "participating democracy" means "typical Hiver near-anarchy, only with slightly more rigid oversight by a shared council due to the sensitive nature of local investigations".
