options then you decide what
- Starport C
you want to do. Routine quality installation. Only unrefined fuel available. Reasonable repair facilities are present. These ports
are the most common size of port, with between 100 and 10,000 employees, 8,000 in this case. The port sees
regular daily traffic, centred around the medium sized star ships, and dozens of smaller ships per day. Almost
It’s that simple. never does this port see the largest ships as 95% of traffic is to do with transporting resources away and workers
to-and-from their contracts.
- Scout Base.
Moderate size, good technical support, quite extensive administration and communications facilities which rumour
has it house a secretive branch of the Interstellar Scouts system but no firm evidence to support that theory.
- Size 5
Medium, diameter; 8,300 miles. Horizon; 4000m, Standard Gravity (8,000 km, 0.40g - 0.57g) half that of our
Earth, Meso World. About the same size as the Earth.
- Atmosphere 1
Trace elements, Vacuum (0.001-0.09). The atmosphere has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres, which
requires the use of a vacc suit at all times in the open. Unbreathable without aid. Also means external
temperatures are constantly low because of exposure to the cold of space.
- Hydrosphere 2
Dry World, surface water %; 6 – 12. It is a relatively dry environment.
- Spectral class
Red star, low luminosity.
- No asteroid belt so little in-system traffic to and from any other working areas of the solar system.
- Gas giant in orbit between planets 4 and 5. Massive, Jupiter-like violent-atmosphered giant.
- Worlds 5. See separate data files.

OTHER INFORMATION TO
BEGIN THE GAME
You will have a personal
character sheet describing some
useful and important aspects of
your player character. They are
INDIVIDUAL to you.
Everything else will come to you
as you play.
EQUIPMENT
The only equipment you need as
a player is two 6-sided dice and
your creativity.
REFERENCE CARDS
At each session I will bring along
a series of ‘Reference Cards’
with information about the skills
you have, the weapons you
begin play with and the statistics
and use of the various bits of kit,
armour, vehicles and items you
start the sessions with.
Over time it’s good for you to
know what these cards contain
because it’ll help you play better.
- Population 7
Moderate size. (P0,000,000) = 90 million. Population density is 1.3% that of Earth.
- Government 9
Impersonal Bureaucracy. Government by agencies which are insulated from the governed. Oligarchy / Unitary
State. Various economic charters awarded by Lunion governments to corporate interests all controlled onworld by a
planetary governor and their system of committees and executive advisory boards peopled by hand-picked
specialists, research experts and operational managements. The workers get no say in any of this; fulfil your
contract or step aside for someone who will.
- Law 9
High Law. Prohibited weapons outside home.
- Tech 8
‘Information Age’. 1990 CE. Cell phones, photonics, slow drug. Some industrial, robotic and technical specialities
are quite advanced but the general level is basic modern world in a very drab and utilitarian style.
- Trade codes and remarks
Ice-capped, non-agricultural, pre-industrial. It’s a resource-extraction world. exploited from elsewhere for benefit.
- Neglected
apart from government/corporate resource extraction management. No immigration, no residency
permitted. Labour and service contracted population only.
- Resource
Plentiful resources of all mineral and material kinds excluding agricultural or organic. This is a mining-rich world.
- Labour
Minimally effective labour, controlled by contracts and terms of employment only.
- Infrastructure
Reasonable communication, commuting travel and residence technology but no more than necessary for the
conditions. Poorly maintained. No other infrastructure than needed for mining and extraction workings. Vast areas
covered only by bots searching for more resource sites. Population centres all habitat-controlled against vacuum;
little leisure-time so no sports, games, recreations outdoors. Widely spaced habitation, massive bare, wilderness
areas in between. The only interest there might be geological as there has been little or no archaeological activity at
all in the last thousand years.
- Efficiency
Economic efficiency is high due to profit-seeking. Limited to nil outside defined sites and population centres.
- Cultural Heterogeneity
High racial, religious and economic homogeneity. Population reflects sector balances with few exceptions.
- Cultural Acceptance
Pretty dour, sour and mean cultural atmosphere on the whole planet. No ‘society’ exists at all outside the immediate
work unit each person is in where work groupings establish and maintain their individual small team culture
- Cultural Strangeness
No real strangeness exists outside the normal range within sector society. Major differences would stick out
immediately and be noticed and notified to the administration.
- Cultural Symbolism
Quite high non-verbal messaging abounds; common language of epithets and phrases which mean definite things.
Mostly around the work contract and service nature of the popular fixation but leaking out to more common, work-a-
day issues such as food, clothing and equipment which can become distinctively different to home world norms.
- Neutral travel zone so no standard patrols and risky to anyone if they meet something in-system. No
help immediately available.
- Domain of Deneb, 3rd Empire
- No X-boat route
