Mainworld Data

Qui Xue is a standard-sized, somewhat dry world with a dense atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Notably, there are 2 seas, each roughly circular on exactly opposite sides of the planet. Initial analysis suggests these are impact craters, but given the thick atmosphere, the impactors would have been truly massive...and apparently precise.

These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be monarchy, with titles passed to family members. Or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Or the organization may be more typical organization with positions of power inherited.

Qiu Xue is ruled by a Senate of Elites, 20 elders who originally settled the planet. This Senate rules by fiat, imposing their will both as a body and as individuals, using threats and demonstrations of destruction.

World Law Level

Qiu Xue has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

World Military

The Senate has the ability to request favors from the Naval base and its starcraft.
