Editing Bantustan (section)

==Imperial Cartographer's Report==

<b>Galactic Location</b>  '''Outworld'''<br>
Bantustan is located in disputed territory at the intersection of the Darikahn & Gonzagin Empires and the Karsan League.  It is not a militarily nor economically major planet though, so it has not really been a scene of fighting.  

<b>Atmospheric Conditions</b>  '''Alien Life Supporting'''<br>
Bantustan is a huge gas giant.  The atmosphere is a chemical soup which doesn't support human life, but does support an ecosystem topped by sky whales with large wings.  The atmosphere is generally cloudy and interfers with both sign and electronic signals.  When lit by the lights of the floating cities or by internal electrical discharges, it is is a a swirling mix of reds, oranges and yellows. <b>N.B.</b> Because of how it interfers with signals and sensors, the cities are generally well protected from orbital bombardment.

<b>Hydrology</b> '''Predominantly Land'''<br>
Well, gassious, but certainly not water.

<b>Topography</b> '''Artificial Environments'''<br>
Floating cities, mansions and factory compounds.   Some small platforms and cargo haulers are held up by gas bags (think dirigibles), but the big cities and factories have high-tech gravity engines which enable them to move (slowly) and provide local gravity.

<b>Tech Index</b> '''Low'''<br>

<b>Dominant Form of Government</b> '''Imperial Stewardship'''<br>
The Viceroy who rules from an orbital space station.   The bureacracy provides jobs for many of the gentry.  Mostly the Viceroy is not personally involved in planetary affairs leaving that to the bureacracy and the Lords-Pilot.

<b>Factions</b> '''Heavily Factionalized'''<br>
Alien life forms, Criminal, Cult Churches (Worship of the Next Incarnation), Kerrn, Psychologist, Slaves & Serf (think Victorian wage slaves and lower classes, not chattel slavery)

<b>Predominant Military</b> '''Lords-Pilot'''<br>
Bantustan is mostly not a militarized world.  Hammer fleets off somewhere else fight the Wars of Empire.  The Gentry do maintain some Anvil forces on planet and they are the de facto dominant military.  Some of these units are recruiting arms of mercanary troops maintained by wealthy members of the Gentry.  Others are honor guards, military police for the enforcement of economic regulations or even essentially social clubs for young bucks.  

<b>Planetary Attitude towards Vaylen</b> '''Indifferent'''<br>
Commerce, society, correct behavior, etc. are all much more in the minds of the Gentry than any worm invasions in the distant fringe worlds.  And the lower classes don't really have time or energy to worry about such things.

<b>Primary Industry</b> '''Refined Goods'''<br>
Some manufacturing that uses the chemicals from the atmosphere and sometimes the pressures available deep in the planet.  Also some pharmaceuticals processed from the alien life.

<b>Level of Quarantine</b> '''Advanced'''<br>

<b>Level of Regulation</b> '''Tightly Regulated'''<br>
Regulated good:

(level 1) Marriage 

(level 2) Pharmaceuticals & power/infrastructure

(level 3) Psychology, Military Manufacture & Immigrant Labor
