The project is not limited to just building the sector, the cultures and races are also under discussion. Currently the only inhabitants are humans, the scattered Zoani, and the terrifying Coral Minds. Random creature creation can be found on pg.s 69 to 75.

The goal is to develop the sector enough to allow gaming groups to adventure and explore using the Traveller ruleset. Keeping with this, some parts of sub-sectors, or even some entire sub-sectors, will have locations of systems that haven't been explored, surveyed, or otherwise documented, letting groups have their own bit of the Tiji Sector just for their game.

Okay...

That's a 10 (ACB) if we use the rolls straight, but only an 8 (8A9) if we use the HSF mods.

>>36235931
TL is 8+Port for the first, and 6+Port for the second. The world imposes a minimum TL of 8.

>>36235931
Ondowit, it's been influenced/corrupted by the Feldspar Alliance.
X100ACB-8
It's Starport was destroyed by the Core Lords and the Populace has been living in hab-blocks on the small moon watching system after system fail, dreading the day when the exotic materials for replacements finally run out and the life support fails for good. The Feldspar Alliance discovered the heavily populated moon by accident when prospecting the ruined system. Ondowit has only recently begun to rebuild it's once impressive manufacturing facilities.

>>36236078
Expanding on that idea:

Ondowit (X100ACB-8)
Its Starport and the once lush world this barren moon orbits were ravaged by the Core Lords centuries ago. The populace who could do so fled the radioactive hell for the one thing they could reach, and have spent the intervening years living in hab-blocks and desperate tunnels on the small moon watching critical system after system fail, dreading the day when the exotic materials for replacements finally run out and the life support fails for good. The Feldspar Alliance recently discovered the heavily populated moon by accident when prospecting the ruined system. Ondowit has only recently begun to rebuild it's once impressive manufacturing facilities with outside help. While the government of Ondowit was authoritarian and unpleasant out of necessity before contact, even they are beginning to doubt the motives of their benefactors from Feldspar.

Caveat here. If this is too high, extreme measures may be needed.

Sixty Billion People. I think they had many more than that before the war, failing systems, and genetic disease started killing them off. Not to mention all the Hard Rads the populace has been taking from the failing power systems and stripping down of the hab's shielding to expand living/growing spaces. And having to recycle EVERYTHING just to live a subsistence life, Soylant Green really IS people.

The domes are important for their view of the rest of the universe, but the heat and radiation of the star cannot be completely mitigated by filters, so most of the population live below the domes underground.

So we have Candidate 5 placed at 1703?

With a population that small, perhaps it is all Zoani? Perhaps the native species reacted badly to Humans?

>>36257941
That works. The population is Zoani, and the don't require a Port for their bioships

>>36258256
Or rather, they don;t grow them or keep specialized food for them here. The Zoani ships can refuel from the oceans just like a human ship would, but the Zoani ships don't attract the same attention.
Not that I see Zoani ships as all that common.

This does bring up a good question, though: Zoani words, and world naming. Do we name the Zoani worlds by their Human nicknames, or the Zoani names? Do we have a preference for what sort of language that might be?

Rolled 3 (1d9)

population multiple for Candy.

I think by their human translation or nickname, most of the names we get are weird enough to be Zoani anyway.

We'll keep on naming the usual way, then. I'll leave a spot in the Library Data for each world to note its Zoani name, but not be in a hurry to fill it in.

I've melded the two thoughts a bit:

Candidate-5 (1703 X559343-6)
(Temperate, Zoani World “xx”)
Candidate 5 was designated as a potential colony site a century ago by the then-Rales Space Agency, until an incursion by an apprently sentient aquatic population destroyed much of the upstart colonial equipment. New attempts to colonize the planet have been considered, but have been labelled as "not cost effective". The world does have a small Zoani population that appears to have no issues with the native life. There are no Zoani port facilities here, something which doesn’t seem to inconvenience the local Zoani at all.

Lanaia (1805 X79A468-5)
(Water World, Colony of Rales)
A world of prodigious storms, Lanaia has so far managed to destroy all attempts at building a permanent port, even drowning well intentioned landing beacons. Political will at home on Rales is lacking to bootstrap Lanaia by way of a purely orbital port, but the mineral and organic wealth here is too promising to ignore for long.

pre-exam study bump.

One thing I'd like to do before finishing C is to decide if the Zoani use different rules for their worlds. Population, government, law, and tech, specifically, as well as new Trade codes or adjusted versions of existing codes.

So far only Candidate -5 would be subject to change, but it might also become something of a template.

As such, I'd like to either limit ourselves to the non-Zoani worlds in C or move back into Alpha Quadrant for now. I'll flag the Zoani worlds in C and E so they show up on the map more clearly. We have plenty to do as it is.

Bioengineered Zoani creatures mean a Zoani world is always Ag or In, depending on it's original purpose. Zoani worlds should never be Ga or Lt as these classifications are based on human perceptions.

Unlike their inspiration, the Zoani don't do big dangerous bioforming anymore, but there may be a few asteroid belts with their names on them.
