Party Logistics
Setting
- The Detis Confederacy consists of 5 systems bound together through trade treaties and some shared defense and governance, lying on the edge of the Sigma Squared Sector.
- Recent exploration into the Sigma Tau Sector has found a moon of the third planet of the Reni (0002) system that can maintain a small outpost settlement, with a communications detachment on the second largest moon of the fifth planet, a gas giant. The third planet is entirely made of barren mountains and badlands with a corrosive atmosphere that breaks down the best suits available, so can't sustain any life itself. Only limited exploration of the surface has happened due to this.
- The outpost is a joint effort between a number of large corporations and trade organizations, plus government sponsorship, from the Detis Confederacy. It is a rough and tumble place though, with only a thousand residents at the moment, and no more than a few thousand permanent residents ever able to be supported. Supplies have to be transported in at that moment. A small port that includes ship repair facilities and upgrades is under construction, but it will be some time before it's operational. Three systems are within range of a Spike-2 drive from the outpost, but as of now, nobody has visited them from the Confederacy.
Wuey is an Ocean World with a human inhabitable atmosphere with a large population. There's speculation that it might have been a great vacation spot once, but nobody really knows. It's just fun speculation. Weapons regulated so no open carry. Mainly a farming planet now so good place to import tech. Existing government, but possible rebel groups looking to trade for weapons.
- Urooh (0008)
- Paplo (0103)
A world of interconnected city domes on the surface of a rough world with an invasive atmosphere that makes the surface both toxic, as well as very difficult to be on longterm even with suits as they have to cycle the atmosphere. The settlements there are isolationist and have not been open to initial attempts at contact.
- Dibru (0202)
There's two civilizations in the system, one human, and the other not. They don't appear to be friendly with each other, and this group's ship was warned away, so they didn't land. (They were a basic survey ship, who found the updated path to the system, that you can now access at the base. They weren't in a position to do much but accept that and leave, and had no incentive to stay around.) That system is critical as it's the key to opening up the rest of the sector, but it also appears like it'll require some work to figure out the situation there and manage it. Largest base is human on a moon of large gas giant sending warning message and having a couple of patrol boats. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th planets in the system are all inhabited with decent sized populations, though only two have atmospheres.
- Que (0206)
- Acemmog (0207)
- Virocs (0302)
A pastoral society of small human villages inhabit this Earthlike world. Their technology is primitive, but they are supported by The Creator, who they regard as a benevolent deity living in a cavern. The Creator is actually a pretech AI of some power, able to exert mental control over people, and guarded by armed droids and sealed doors. It's possible that The Creator is the surviving intelligence of some crashed ship, or previously advanced culture that has regressed, but it isn't exactly answering questions. The group were able to fight it to an uncomfortable stalemate, and make some limited trades of replacement parts for rutters.
They are at a tech level of combustion engines, some air travel, but mostly land vehicles and ocean craft. They have radio and a primitive analog video transmission. Humanoid, almost certainly human base genetically, mixed with different genetic materials, producing great variety. Potential biohazard from planetwide virus contagious to baseline humans. It appears that nations have developed, with a fair amount of nationalism dividing them into several powerful alliances. Pre-scream orbital damaged in asteroid strike housed original scientists.
