Era: New Era

Segan has both an unbreathable thin atmosphere and a lack of surface water making habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Wilds in the Atsah Subsector of Deneb Sector. This is the homeworld of the Segani, a Minor Race.

Segan’s location on the X-boat route ensures that its port sees large volumes of through-trade and commercial traffic. A jump-4 service is maintained to Kiirindor, with a few jump-3 vessels proceeding to Torm and surrounding worlds in Dunmag Subsector by way of gas giant refuelling at Erita.

Native Sophont (NIL): Segani

Like all advanced life on Segan, the Segani are not native but were seeded long ago.

History & Background (Dossier)

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

With 5 billion inhabitants, it is the most populated world in the subsector.

The system is part of the Atsah Cultural Region

Demographics

About 30% of the population are Vargr, and Segan is the fief of the Segae Clan. Some 400 million humans are found in underground cities, clustered near the starport. These cities are fitted with completely independent, closed ecologies. The remainder of the population are a local Sophont people referred to as Segani.

Government

Segan's current ruler, Gishma Parimesha, is admired both for her personality and her administrative ability. She wields most of the powers of government personally but delegates enough authority to her subordinates to quiet any minor grumbling. The law level of 11 seems oppressive to outsiders, but pleases the orderly, quiet-tempered Seganites.
