Ozon is a poor, industrial, high-population desert world, with a billion or more sophonts struggling to survive in a inhospitable environment.
- This world has no free-standing water.
- As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a member of the Glorious Sons of Raek in the Gzos Subsector of Gzaefueg Sector in the Vargr Extents.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
Following the claiming of Gzos Subsector in circa -2318, the Vargr who rounded the Windhorn Rift discovered the worlds of the future Glorious Sons of Raek which included Ozon / Gzos (Gzaefueg 2302) B240978-D De Hi In Po / Cp C: 1901 2102 {4} (88C+3) [BD7E] RU2304 Corsair 303 11W VGSR G7 V

Mainworld Data
Ozon revolves about a healthy, G7 main-sequence, yellow star and sports three Gas Giants. Pirate Captains in Gzos Subsector correctly predicted the coming of the Ruler of Five polity and set up a Corsair Base in Ozon system to take advantage of increased trade between the confederation and the Glorious Sons hegemony.
The B-rated Downport has become “second field” to Ozon Orbital Spacedock high above the mainworld. A trade nexus, Ozon has become a crossroads to various Rich worlds in the Glorious Sons of Raek. Imported raw materials, refined and unrefined arrive on Ozon far more often than Travellers. But manufactured goods comprise the majority of outbound traffic. Ozon is the largest Industrial producer in three subsectors and prides itself to the point of glory to provide for the hegemony and subtly steer the destiny of the Glorious Sons of Raek.
The mainworld Ozon is an encapsulated planet with cities utilizing domes over deep chasms, impact craters and artificial steppes below the surface. A Desert world, Ozon is a thirsty world and the workforce can halt production if their needs are not met. The Poor world status is no laughing matter as Ozon imports more raw resources and refined materials than it extracts from the system. Three Factions of Urzaeng and remnant Suedzuk Vargr meet to snarl over the future of Ozon.

World Starport
Ozon 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.
- Ozon features Ozon Orbital Spacedock, a valuable Highport.
World Technology Level
Ozon 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.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-4.
World Government
Ozon 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 Level
Ozon law has been a fluctuating rating of 8.
- Law on Ozon has risen and fallen through the centuries. As of 1105, the Law Level rating is rising through 8 where long blades weapons require permits and open possession of weapons is sure to cause Law Enforcement to respond. Many a Captain has mistaken the swords worn by locals as permission to openly carry their sidearms.

World Economy
- Resources 8: Moderate
- Labor 8: Hundreds of millions
- Infrastructure: C (12) Very Extensive
- Efficiency: +1 Moderately Efficient

World Demographics
The Urzaeng Sons of the Hegemony are a notable group in nominal control of Ozon’s Balkanized citizenry. They have significant support form civilians and service Vargr and seek to forward the Glorious Sons of Raek coreward expansion. However, openly speaking of diverting to worlds in any other vector than coreward can earn ire and ostracism from this interest group.
The Merchants Corporate Party is a minor group that has turned making money into a religious experience. Profits are cause for celebration and feasts to salivate even the other two Factions can last up to a week. This group naturally gravitates to the Downport, Startown and up the gravity well at Ozon Orbital Spacedock. Losses in the markets are viewed as damning shames that can erode personal and Pack Charisma.
The remnant population of Suedzuk pushes their Red Blades to the fora to be heard. The Red Blades are a minor fundamentalist group of ethnic Suedzuk seeking to keep Ozon at TL-D and have a vocal hatred of robots and artificial intelligence. The Red Blades are rumored to have ties with the local Corsair band.
World Culture
It is vehemently denied that a school for mental powers exists on Ozon inside the Glorious Sons of Raek. This Urzaeng pocket hegemony touts psionics as the purview of weaklings and underachievers.
- Homogeneity B (11): Maximum Discordant
- Acceptance D (13): Very Xenophilic
- Strangeness 7: Confusing to interstellar neighborhood
- Symbols E (14): Extremely Abstract, especially to non-Urzaeng Vargr
World Language/s
Ozon citizenry speak Urzaeng and Suedzuk primarily but are learning Vilani. Anglic has yet to catch on in the Glorious Sons of Raek.
Urbanization

Historical Data
Differentiation along sub-species lines in -2280, the Suedzuk and Urzaeng began to congeal their numbers and stare coreward at the stars that lay unconquered.
In -1800 the Suedzuk had largely left for points trailing, leaving the Urzaeng on their own to declare the hegemony named the Glorious Sons of Raek with its hegemon world being Rekhoghoekh (Gzaefueg 1703). Taeurrael, Ozon and Kfelaelung (Gzaefueg 1701, 2302 and 2402 respectively) were the workhorse resource and production centers of the new hegemony. By -1700 the Glorious Sons claimed they had expanded into Kharrthon Sector. In truth, the hegemony was having trouble taking up Trade and Commerce as 75 years earlier the Logaksu had ceased their interest in space trailing of the Windhorn Rift and retraced their steps back to Fa Dzaets Sector.
Since the departure of the Logaksu, Ozon and the Glorious Sons of Raek had conquered worlds but remained leashed to Gzaefueg Sector by trade lines coming from Gvineks, Gzos and Terruerr Subsectors and the future Ruler of Five confederation that was declared almost 1830 years later. Until then, Ozon remained the most Important {Ix} world in coreward Gzaefueg. Ozon enjoyed this prestige until Dhillourr (Gzaefueg 1413) matched Ozon in -1675, seventeen years before the infamous Sack of Gashikan. Hindered through the centuries by the need to trade with the mainstream Urzaeng, the Glorious Sons of Raek have had to learn diplomacy and mercantile flow alongside their warlike temperament.
Terruerr Subsector was unintentionally the buffer zone of quarantine that protected Ozon and its stellar neighborhood from the Wolvesbane Project in -1427 and -1428 that wiped clean the Vargr Major Race from Gashikan Sector and three worlds of Terruerr. Though the enraged Glorious Sons desired to enact vengeance upon the new Second Empire of Gashikan, they were in no position to risk their three major trade lines rimward into the nebulous world-states of Gzaefueg Sector. Added to this was the original and reiterated intent of the hegemon to conquer coreward, the plank on which the Glorious Sons first detoured.
Through the centuries, the Glorious Sons of Raek have slowly and painfully felt the balancing act of conquering, settling and building civilizations on their claimed worlds. The way has brought the hegemony to a coreward crawl. Ozon, as the only Industrial, hegemony world has had no small say in carefully planning each new annexation through the new tactic of commerce over weapons and armor.
Ozon felt the pangs of envy when news of Dhillourr rising to TL 16 and the long-awaited and official declaration of the Ruler of Five confederation. While Dhillourr ascended to an Importance of 5, Ozon currently remains the only Importance 4 world of Gzaefueg Sector.
As of 1105, Ozon and the Glorious Sons of Raek conduct tests of the newer Ruler of Five government, which they continually berate for being a weak confederation of five Packs across too many subsectors. Skirmishes test the borders. However, the Urzaeng cousins of the Ruler of Five have since taken up the Logaksu ways of trade and strangle the lines enough to keep the Glorious Sons conquering ever coreward.
