History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Lanadhu 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.

World Population (P)

1,000,000

Demographics

Of the 1,000,000 residents, 70% are Akeed, the rest largely Human with a scattering of other species.

World Technology Level (T)

Lanadhu possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)

Lanadhu has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

World Law (L)

Lanadhu has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).

World Culture

Little is known about the Akeed society, as most visitors to their worlds interact with Humans for the most part. Still, Akeed are known as pleasant, social people. They settle disputes by long, amiable arguments and pleasant wit.
