Schwennin is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • 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 Federation of Alsas in the Alsas Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Schwennin 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.

Population[edit]

3,000,000

Military[edit]

As with most member planets of the Federation of Alsas, this world leaves the job of Federation defence to the armed forces of Afellahlah, thereby avoiding the expense of equipping itself but allowing the Afellahlah government a lot of leeway in deciding Federation policy.
