Nasemin is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • 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 Third Imperium in the Aramis Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector in the Domain of Deneb.
  • It is located within the Towers Cluster.
  • This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Description (Planetology)

A large moon in a close orbit induces a large tidal effect. An energetic sun effects on the world ocean produces extreme weather. The combination produces a world ocean rarely at rest.

Biota & Sophonta

The most prominent creature living in Nasemin's stormy seas is the Byssal, a very large and nasty predator that is the source of an anti-inflammation drug which has so far defied economical synthesis. Nasemin's population is primarily occupied with chasing down byssals and excising the gland in which the drug is concentrated. The byssal hunters operate in small crews aboard specially constructed submersibles. Much skill is involved in searching for the predator in the ocean depths; the actual capture process is short but dangerous.

History & Background (Dossier)

A non-industrial water world located within the Towers Cluster in the Aramis Subsector of the Spinward Marches. Nasemin is a member of the Imperium and the system contains a small Scout Base.
