Jump map from Travellermap.com

Sifi is a low-population water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water and a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Ozhev Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Sifi is a binary star system.

• The primary is an orange main sequence.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.
• The system lies on the edge of the Idella Rift.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zones prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Sifi is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Sifi has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Sifi has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

• The oceans experience extreme tides.

Satellites:

Sifi retains a small, relatively close, very thin atmosphere moon.

• It orbits once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant aquatic native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Sifi is a quiet backwater with almost no development. It survives on fishing and aquaculture.

• The few resources of the system are largely untapped.

There is limited activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is very infrequent: ships rarely visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• A single commercial navigation beacon may be active.
• Vessels rarely operate among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Sifi has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World Population (P)

Sifi has a population of 1,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

Urbanization

A central urban area located on a large island.

• Outlying islands have a few isolated structures or compounds.
• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Sifi possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
  • Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
  • Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.

World Government (G)

Sifi has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

• A single extended clan, made up of separate families and headed by a fearsome matriarch, controls the world.

World Military

Individual armed family members.

World Law (L)

Sifi has a low law level. 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. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy

• Resources: 3 (very scarce)
• Labor: 2 (hundreds)
• Infrastructure: 0 (non-existent)
• Efficiency: +1 (average)

Trade Data

• Importance: -3 (very unimportant)

The primary industry on the world is fishing and aquaculture. Harvested marine products are processed and packaged in a large facility.

World Culture

• Homogeneity: 3 (monolithic)
• Acceptance: 1 (extremely xenophobic)
• Strangeness: 4 (somewhat distinct)
• Symbols: A (abstract)

World Timeline

• 995-1065: the Second Survey charts the system.
• 1065: the Second Survey is published.
