Era: New Era

Rhinom is a moderate population world, too many sophonts to be an agricultural world but not enough to be an industrial world. It is a member of Regency of Deneb in the Sabine Subsector of Deneb Sector. This world has a nearby Regency Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

This world is located on the Sabinar Main.

Lurent planetoid ships may be found, trading in the inner system, or refueling in the system’s Oort clouds.

History & Background (Dossier)

In 617, during the Bad War in Deneb, subsector powers fought over control of the Sector; The Battle of Rhinom was won by the forces of Inar Subsector.

Non-Canon: Getting a license to do business is a painful bureaucratic death march through red tape and different government ministries. Offworlders need years of effort and the sponsorship by local business chambers before getting permission to sell goods in the general planetary market. Each chamber is akin to a mercantile guild, but these do little more than set the competitive guidelines for each industry or local market. On Rhinom business is a bloodsport, with few rules other than recognition of the sanctity of those laws enforced by the government and private property. Conflict on the world is uncannily reminiscent of old trade wars in the old Imperium.

The unsavory people and tactics that such conflicts favor helps soak up the sociopathic tendencies of would-be rebels and dissidents. Businessmen compete for money, power and status. The corporate spies, security and guttertrash they hire to do battle come from alienated sections of the local middle class. Their struggles are duly recorded in the local media, and quarterly profit reports are hawked and digested in popular media. The nature of the local society is largely free agent in nature, and the most successful operatives and mercenaries are themselves celebrated as people of fame and power.

Against this backdrop the government of the Twylo family operates quietly, enforcing strict laws against political opposition, and crushing most dissent. The co-opting of the most successful "gamesman", whether spies or business executives, into the local power structure helps cement loyalty to the regime. A large underground revolutionary movement exists on Rhinom, but it is powerless to change conditions on the world. So far no Representational Referendum has ever been convened for a government change.
