+ | The system has a large number of planets in close proximity to the star, which is unusual. It is thought that outer planets were lost after a stellar near-miss. There is a distant Oort cloud, which shows very severe signs of disturbance within the last few million years. | ||

However, some think that the true number of nomads is much higher, possibly into the millions, but their desire to keep apart from the city dwellers and their continuous migration in search of water make it difficult to come up with an accurate number. | However, some think that the true number of nomads is much higher, possibly into the millions, but their desire to keep apart from the city dwellers and their continuous migration in search of water make it difficult to come up with an accurate number. | ||

The cities are mostly powered by solar energy, which drives a thriving technological society which is almost entirely geared towards extracting every last bit of mineral wealth from the world. | The cities are mostly powered by solar energy, which drives a thriving technological society which is almost entirely geared towards extracting every last bit of mineral wealth from the world. | ||

+ | ===== Government ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The world is pretty much run by a complex bureaucracy with no single leader. Various factions have control over finances, law enforcement and resources, with input from various non-governmental factious including corporations. Some say that the government is an extension of the middle management of [[../ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most of the wealth come from mines across the surface, which dig up metal ores and ship them off world after a minimum level of processing. The starport is pretty much geared towards heavy industry, with a limited set of facilities for tourists and other travellers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Society ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The people of Ardasii are generally poor, either working for the various mining companies or in service or engineering industries supporting them. Buildings tend to be small and dark, with everyone living in close proximity to each other. The city based Ardasiians find this normal, and actually dislike the big open landscapes of the deserts. Families tend to share bedrooms and young adults tend to live in large unisex dormitories, | ||
+ | |||
+ | This has extended to the fact that they deliberately won't notice anything unusual - such as corruption or even violence going on around them. As much as they can, they will try to avoid noticing anything which doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This has sometimes led to interesting situations within corporations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Due to the dry, warm conditions, clothing tends to be plain and light. Both sexes tend to wear a simple tunic, with fancier clothing being the sign of offworlders or richer members of society. There is a branch of the government which regulates clothing styles by social class, though enforcement is haphazard. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The desert folk are completely different. They greatly dislike the enclosed spaces, preferring the open skies and deserts. They are still sociable, but can cope with being alone. They tend to wear long, loose fitting robes or trousers that cover their skin, since they have to put up with direct sunlight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Trade ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Trade is mostly metal ores, though science and technology, especially bio-sciences have been more recent exports. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Exports ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Common Ore, Cr1K, +0 | ||
+ | * Uncommon Ore, Cr5K, +0 | ||
+ | * Uncommon Raw Materials, Cr20K, +0 | ||
+ | * Precious Metals, Cr50K, +1 | ||
+ | * Pharmaceuticals, | ||
+ | * Drugs, Illegal, Cr100K, +1 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Imports ==== | ||

+ | * Common Electronics, | ||
+ | * Common Industrial Goods, +3 | ||
+ | * Common Consumables, | ||
+ | * Common Manufactured Goods, +3 | ||
+ | * Live Animals, +0 | ||
+ | * Advanced Machine Parts, +1 | ||
+ | * Advanced Electronics, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Smuggling ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A Streetwise check could turn up one or more of the following: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Somebody has secrets that they want to get off world. There is a contact on Imisaa that is wanting to buy them. This is simply some encrypted data chips that need to be taken to their destination, | ||
+ | - A family of desert folk want shipping off of Ardasii, wanting to head in the direction of Tobia. They will need to be picked up from the desert and want to avoid any customs/ | ||
+ | - Somebody is wanting to buy some weapon' | ||
+ | - A journalist thinks that one of the research bases is working on illegal bio-weapons, | ||
+ | - A heavily in-debt gambler in the Navy is looking to get some money fast, and willing to take risks to provide access to things on the cheap. | ||
+ | - Looking for people to break into someone' | ||
