The year is early 2170, at the beginning of the year. The following is a brief history of Earth, at the centre of the Terran Federation. It is taken (slightly modified) from GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars.

2020: Global financial crisis, particularly in Europe, sees the expansion of the UN's powers.

2021: First manned offworld colony, Archimedes Station on Luna.

2022: Establishment of United Nations Space Coordination Agency (UNSCA).

2024: Treaty of New York saw the General Assembly reduced in power, reducing the say of the participant nations, and the Security Council was abolished, with the powers instead given to the Secretariat, who became answerable to an Advisory Board. The Secretary General was also given more powers, and the military expanded somewhat, making it a genuine force for peace.

2025: China withdrew from the UN over the requirement for member nations to turn oven much of their militaries to the UN. UN troops were more aggressive in asserting UN authority, and people were given less chance to be separate, but many global and economic problems were resolved that had previously been unresolvable.

2050: By this time tensions had eased, and global population, economic growth and standards of living had stabilized. European Space Agency begins construction of several 'Generation' Ships, and they were sent out.

2052: UNSCA lab on Luna developed Grav Modules.

2064: UNSCA research station on Ceres developed reactionless thrusters.

2088: UNSCA research station on Ceres developed first Jump drive (Jump 0). Not strong enough to travel to other star systems.

2092: Jump drive improved, to Jump 1, but no star systems within range.

2093: US began an ambitious program to send a manned mission to Bernards Star, using a rogue planet 1 parsec away from both Terra and Bernards Star. Starleaper 1 launched.

2098: News of the Starleaper mission: New civilization discovered! The first Vilani contact with anunsactioned prospecting base.

2098-2114: Contanct between the Vilani and the Terrans at Bernards Star continued, as both sided built bases there. Medical and Biotech terran goods were more developed, but Vilani Engineering was more developed. Terran Armed spacecraft produced for the first time.

2114: Vilani merchant convoy attacked when it approached an American base, ignoring all traffic control signals. Start of first Interstellar war.

2114-2122: National Squads at Bernards Star destroyed by Vilani squads, and all Terran facilities there destroyed. Survivors mount guerilla campaign.

2122: Second Vilani expedition stopped by UN fleet in a draw, but Vilani fleets ordered to retreat, giving up the star for Terrans in return for a ceasefire and Terrans staying out of Imperium space.

2123: Yukio Hasegawa created Free Traders Foundation, which soon became a powerful nation in it's own right.

2124: Jump-2 drive developed. UN becomes United Worlds Organization (UWO), forming the Terran Confederation.

2125: Terran ships with Jump-2 drives have been entering Vilani space, resulting an a new Vilani attack. Battle of Aggidda a draw, leaving Terrans still in control of the star.

2125-2134: False war, with many skirmishes but no major battles. Vilani distracted by civil war.

2134: Raid in Nuski, Terrans fought off with heavy losses, and punitive raid on Procyon, before an armistice was signed, giving Terrans control of all between Agidda and Procyon.

2134-2145: New Vilani governor, Kadur Erasharshi, prepares for major assault on Terra. HQ moved from Shulgiasu to Dingir.

2145: Third Interstellar war starts with assults on both Agidda and Procyon. Defences crushed.

2146: Main Terran fleet destroyed. Bernard and Agidda captured.

2147: Procyon briefly captured and Terra was bombarded with nukes. Erasharshi had to return to deal with a revolt on Shulgiasu.

2151: Confederation recovered, Procyon recaptured, Bernard and Agidda soon followed.

2156: Terran fleet at Nusku defeated, and attack on planet begun. Once captured, an armistice was signed.

2161: Nuski moved from an occupied planet to an independent member of the Confederation.

2161 to 2173: Following the armistice, a period of Colonial expansion followed, with Prometheus and Mirabilis growing. Nuski soon became a base for exploring the Imperium, with Free Traders leading the way. With some terran products, notable medicines and multi-function computers, were more advanced than Vilani products. The ease with which kimashargur on Nusku were integrated into Confederation as equals resulted is a considerble increase in unrest amoung other kimashargur. This was heightened by the introduction of numerous new diseases from contact with the Terrans.

Feb 2173, Procyon raid...Start of 4th Interstellar war.
          2nd attack on Yenesei, Yenesei destroyed Dec 2173
          Nov 2174, May 2175, raids on Nusku
          Nov 2175, Nusku system captured

Jan 2176, Armistice

Vilani Society

Vilani civilization is by no means monolithic. The designers of the Vilani Imperium recognized that Imperial society needed the flexibility that only controlled diversity could provide. As a result, every caste has its own customs and traditions, every Vilani world follows its own path of social evolution, and many of the Imperial subject races have accepted a veneer of Vilani culture while retaining portions of their own.

The Vilani Mainstream
The core of Vilani civilization is its “High Vilani” and “Low Vilani” subcultures. High Vilani culture is that of the interstellar elite, the aristocrats and senior shangarim administrators who wield Imperial power. It is characterized by routine access to interstellar travel and communication, sumptuous standards of living, elaborate codes of courtesy, and (to a Terran) extreme arrogance. Low Vilani culture is that of the Imperial “middle class.” Its members include the vast majority of the Vilani population, as well as those Imperial subject races that have fully assimilated into Vilani civilization. Members of the Low Vilani culture usually remain on the world of their birth for their entire lives, and don’t participate directly in interstellar affairs. They usually live comfortably but not lavishly, and spend their lives working hard for one of the shangarim or a subsidiary organization. Low Vilani are loyal to the Imperium, but they are much less arrogant than their High Vilani leaders. Indeed, some Low Vilani show a keen interest in foreign ideas and culture.

Khagarii
On the Imperial social hierarchy, the rung below the Low Vilani is occupied by the khagarii, or “dissidents.” Dissident groups live and work within Vilani society, but they reject some or all of the age-old Vilani traditions. Some khagarii are Vilani who deliberately refuse to follow Imperial social norms. Most of them are non-Vilani Humans or non-Humans, whose ancestors were conquered by the Imperium but who have never been fully assimilated. Dissidents are denied a variety of rights within the Imperial system.Many dissident communities are forced to live apart from mainstream society, in ghettos or reservations where they can follow their own customs without disturbing Imperial harmony. Dissidents who work within Vilani society must accept placement in the “caste” system, but are restricted to low-prestige careers. In particular, dissidents are denied the right to legally own or operate starships, and must negotiate at a serious disadvantage with the shangarim if they wish to participate in interstellar trade

Nugriiri

Nugiiri are a small winged species originating on a small planet with less than 0.6 Gs. On such planets they can fly, but on planets with greater gravity they struggle. They have club-like tails and they are very dedicated to their own communities and they live their short lives serving them. Very little is known about them. and they are not available as a player race.

Vegan [28 points]

Vegans are from Muan Gwi, a small world, so they are very tall – often over 7’ in height – but frail and unable to handle Terran gravity for any length of time. Their eyes are at the top of their body at the end of a long fleshy hood; strictly speaking this isn’t a “head,” in that it doesn’t contain any other sensory organs nor can it turn independently of the rest of the body. Vegans hear through a series of ear holes around their shoulders, and a mouth pierces the chest. The mouth isn’t dual purpose like a Human’s, being only for eating their vegetarian diet; breathing slits flank it on either side.

Muan Gwi is quite arid, so Vegan legs bear a superficial resemblance to those of Terran camels, especially in their broad, soft feet that can easily handle sandy ground. Vegan arms split into many tentacles just below the elbow rather than having hands.

A jump drive works by projecting the ship through an alternate universe known as Jumpspace. A ship should move at least 100 times the sources diameter away from gravity sources to use it, and life within this bubble continues as normal, but contact with the rest of the universe is cut off. If the vessel passes within this range of a gravity source, the vessel drops out of jumpspace.

A jump operation takes four successful skill rolls, and 168 hours + 16 hrs, regardless of the actual distance jumped. Unrefined fuel gives a -2 on all rolls.

1. Navigation(Space) to plot the proper start point and the path to that point.

2. Piloting(Usually High Performance Spacecraft) to get the ship to that point.

3. Navigation(Hyperspace) to plot the course through Jumpspace. Imperial ships do that at +4 with a tape drive, but Imperial ships cannot jump to uncharted stars.

4. Mechanic(Jump Drive) to properly activate the jump drive at the jump point.

As this operation is crucial to gameflow, characters should pre-roll their rolls when they hear that a jump under abnormal conditions is to be made, otherwise GM should roll them on the players behalf to keep things moving. Each ship should have a designated person for each of these rolls, usually as follows:
1) Navigator
2) Pilot
3) Navigator
4) Engineer
The vessel must stop for one combat round when the jump drive is activated.

Starship combat takes place over 20 minute rounds, and hence all Beams are considered to have ROF 2 and recoil of 2. Hence, for every 2 that the gunners roll beats the target by, they hit once more.

1. Detection and Communication Phase
    Starships can be in either one of the three following stances:
       -Silent. No transmissions or active sensors. -6 to detection of other ships.
       -Active. No broadcast transmissions, but active sensors. +20 to attempts to detect the ship.
       -Broadcasting. Radio transmissions, including IFF transmissions. Any vessel not transmitting an IFF is considered a warship, and better not be in the wrong place! +30 to attempts to detect the ship.
2. Manoeuvre Phase
    Designate intended movements in order of slowest to fastest, with a contest of Tactics to solve a draw. (Winner goes last). Missiles controlled by controlling Gunners, or controlling computers in the rare cases ships are equipped with computers that can take control (As Dastavka is). Vessels start preparing for jump in this phase may not take any other manoeuvres, and must have enough power for the jump drive. It jumps in the next Manoeuvre phase.
3. Movement Phase
    Move all vessels/missiles. This happens simultaneously.
4. Direct Fire Phase
    Resolve any direct fire attacks, such as beam weapons. Apply damage immediately.
5. Point Defence and Collision Phase
    Resolve any point defence and collisions, in that order. Any working weapons can be used for point defence, even if they have been used to attack. Technically, missiles explode milliseconds before collision occurs, but they are resolved at this time. Apply damage immediately.
6. Launch and Docking Phase
    Launch any small craft, such as missiles or fighters, or lifeboats!
7. Damage Control Phase
    Damage control attempts are then applied.

The primary goal of the new Imperium in 500 AD was stability rather than further expansion. Exploration beyond the borders of the empire was permitted only under special circumstances, and within a few centuries had ceased entirely. New colonization was likewise slowed, and later halted. Technological innovation was even more strictly controlled. With these changes, the Ziru Sirka was to provide a mature, steady-state economy in which trillions of sophonts could live in safety and comfort. While greed and personal ambition were not stamped out, they were channeled into relatively “safe” pursuits, notably the quest for higher status within the elaborate Imperial hierarchy.

Not all of the new Imperium’s subjects agreed with this goal. Even in the early centuries of the Ziru Sirka, dissident factions sometimes appeared and tried to alter the Imperial social contract. One such faction was the kimashargur (“Virtue of the Foremost”) movement, which became very influential in the Imperium’s rimward sectors beginning about A.D. 800. The kimashargur were romantics. They remembered the days of technological advance and galaxy-spanning exploration, and considered the Imperium poorer for having turned its back on such ventures. They demanded that controls on exploration and technological innovation be relaxed, so that at least a small section of Imperial society could continue to engage in such pursuits. They also pointed out that the empire’s stability, while a laudable accomplishment, could be threatened if some outside force arose to challenge Vilani authority. Clearly someone had to be responsible for exploring uncharted space and discovering new technological tricks, so that the Vilani community as a whole could be prepared for the unknown.

Imperial authority tolerated the kimashargur for a time, but eventually cracked down on the movement about A.D. 950. Many thousands of kimashargur fled Imperial space entirely, settling beyond the rimward frontier. Thus it was a dissident population that first established Vilani worlds such as Dingir, Gashidda, Iilike, Shulimik, and Nusku – all of them within only a few parsecs of Terra. Whether any kimashargur scouts discovered Terra itself during this era is unknown; if they did, no records of the discovery appear to have survived.

About A.D. 1000 the kimashargur exiles established a Vilani pocket empire, with its capital at Dingir. For over a century the dissidents prospered, developing their new worlds, diverging from the Vilani cultural norms that had been imposed on them back in Imperial space. Unfortunately, the experiment did not last long; just after A.D. 1100 the Imperium gathered a war fleet and forcibly annexed the kimashargur state. The war was quite short but very bitter – even centuries later, the populations of the old kimashargur worlds remembered and resented the Imperial conquest.

Leikung (2924), A solitary star with three gas giants about which orbit 8 moons. The ring of the biggest gas giant has four moons that seem to stay equidistant, with the largest moon 7,000 miles in diameter being bigger than earth! The other planets are all barren and lacking in any significant atmosphere or water bodies. Despite the coverage of 80% of the planet by water and the huge 30 yard tides roving across the surface, the high gravity (approximately 1.2Gs) results in a dense atmosphere with dangerously high oxygen levels as the surface of the land is covered by dense jungle, with lower lying trees clearly coping quite well with the regular drowning they receive.

AK bought an Island in this system as a base, and aids in it's defences.

Based on these statements, you may be assured that corruption is rife throughout the Imperium, but it presents in ways that may not be simple to deal with. Simply offering Solars may not help, but offering items that might be very hard to get, for example, to a customs official, might be much more effective. Bear in mind the existence of "The Market".



With this in mind, bribes are rarely a set thing, but they do definitely exist. A worlds technology level determine they typical monthly wage, as per Basics P517

Tech Level     Monthly wage, Typical   Weekly wage, Typical
0              $625                    $144
1              $650                    $150
2              $675                    $156
3              $700                    $162
4              $800                    $185
5              $1,100                  $254
6              $1,600                  $369
7              $2,100                  $485
8              $2,600                  $600
9              $3,600                  $831
10 (A)         $5,600                  $1292

For Daily wage, divide weekly wage by 7. For annual wage, multiply Monthly wage by 12. These of course, are just guides. Note that Rich and Poor ratings refer to the worlds fertility, not their wealth. Life on rich worlds is much easier, and therefore folk have more cash to spend on matters that do not determine life-and-death!

This post is for the Captain of the Abel Tasman to post notes of his Explorations
Thalassa

0835
Binary Stars, 2 gas giants, 3 moons. Innermost Gas giant one large planet, with smaller one i opposite orbit.
Larger planet Odysseus 6100 miles dia 94% water Terran like. 1 large continent and lots of islands. Various edible animals.

0533
Binary system, 2 Gas giants, 8 moons - best of which frozen with little water

0434
Binary system, 5 Gas Giants with 7 moons.
Durgha 6,000 miles dia (0.67G), no surface water. It has a trace atmosphere, and is Frozen

0335
Binary system, 4 Gas Giants, 2 Planets with 5 moons.
Miasma 6,100 miles dia rock with 83% surface water. Warm atmosphere with high CO2, 0.9G.

0136
Twin stars, no gas giants or planetoid belts. 10 large planets in elliptical orbits, one, Swinburne, has very thin atmosphere and 20% surface water, diameter of 7,000 miles. There are a lot of plants, but sensory suggest it could be hazardous, with spores filling what air there is.

0237 is a binary system with 3 gas giants, with 2 moons on the inner, three moons on the middle and one moon on the outer. Around the outer Gas Giant's planet, however, orbits another moon.
Around the middle gas giant the largest of the planets, some 7,000 miles in diameter, has dragged away considerable methane, forming oceans of it covering 30% of the planet. While the atmosphere has standard pressure, it is hydrocarbon based, mainly methane.

The planetary survey indicates there may well be some microbes there

0138
single star system with a 8,000 m dia planet with 3 moons, and 3 other planets in more distant orbits. The main planet, Erech, is covered by 40% water and is a glasshouse, with excessive carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide heating the planet and making the thin atmosphere dangerous to breath without a filter.


0239
a single star system with two gas giants with 7 moons, the most interesting one being 5,000 miles in diameter. This planet, Barsoom, is also covered by 40% water but the thin atmosphere safe to breath without a filter, making it habitable.

It is just as well there is only 40% of the surface covered by water, as the gravitational pull of the gas giant creates 100 yard tides that sweep the planet regularly, watering it and providing abundant amphibious life.

The large tidal sweeps make it hard to define shorelines with any accuracy, but it is more like a planet with large seas that are dragged around the planet by the gas giant. The inhabitants are massive swarms of giant insects (think stirges) and thick skinned reptiles that their probosci are seemingly designed to penetrate that come out at night, combined with the sahara like hot days.

There are higher areas, about 200 to 300 ft above sea level, that are inhabitable, but the caves would need to be cleared out of these dangerous inhabitants first. Mangrove-like trees inhabit the lower plains.

0240 is a single star system with just one planet in the habitable zone, with three moons. There are 5 other planetoids in elliptical orbits, but no Gas Giants. At about 9,000 miles diameter The planet is quite earth-like and inhabited by 2 intelligent species Ropagu and Kalduu

0440 A binary system, named as Ormadz, with 3 gas giants, two with single moons, the only planet in the Goldilocks zone is devoid of atmosphere and water

0640 A single star system with 5 gas giants and a planetoid belt. Contains a water world 5,000 miles in diameter with a single moon, the atmosphere lacks considerable oxygen but the water does not! All life is below the surface, and there is considerable marine activity. Named as Arisia

0639 has a single planetoid in the Goldilocks zone with two moons, and four other gas giants orbit the system beyond it, with 4 moons between them. The planets thin atmosphere is tainted, and despite the 5,000 mile diameter it only has 30% of its surface covered by water. The high CO2 levels suggest lack of protection from the twin stars. There is little life here, and it is mainly plant life, but there are some small marine creatures in the small seas. Named as Ptolemy

0438 has a single star and two planets locked in an opposing orbit in the Goldilocks zone. Inside them are two small planets that are too hot to support life, and further out, there are three gas giants with 4 moons between them. Named as Zhongguo.

The planets in the goldilocks zone have atmoshperes, with one having a thin atmosphere tainted by excessive carbon Monoxide and carbon dioxide, creating a tropical feel that needs oxygen for humans to breathe. 40% of it's surface is covered by water. The other planet has very little atmosphere (trace) and only 10% of it's surface is covered by water, with correspondingly little life.

0437 is a Binary system that seems to have a lot of activity. Three worlds orbit in the goldilocks zone, with 2 additional worlds inside of their orbits and  worlds outside of the orbits of four gas giants. The main planet isjust 3,000 miles in diameter, and is therefore too small to hold more than a trace of atmosphere, with only 10% of the surface covered by ice. It is named as Dolor.

Starship seen, diplomats sent, arrived on 21 Dec 2176. Indications of a small winged species (Iirgun) that regularly visits that 'protects' them from hostile aliens. First diplomats attacked, Labrysians responded by sending a battlefleet, and the Iirgun have not returned since. Human diplomats may take years to establish trust, but are working on it. Also offering technology that has raised them to TL9 just recently, but due to Iirgun influence, they are still afraid to take it up.

CONTACT PROCEDURES
Once explorers have determined that intelligent life is present, the question of contact arises. As of 2170, the only new intelligent races that Terrans had come into contact with have been members of the Vilani Imperium, but recent explorers met not only the Labrysians but there are also rumoured to be others as well.

However, the Terran Confederation has already developed contact protocols that all official expeditions are ready to implement. Unofficial expeditions may have to develop their own
procedures on the fly . . .In general, explorers will avoid going in to contact a new society
“cold.” If possible, the exploration team will study the natives for weeks or even months from hiding.

Linguistic Assessment
The most important precontact task is a study of the local languages. If the native society is at a low level of development (TL0-TL5), then samples of the language must be gathered via direct monitoring of conversations. This would most likely be done using stealth reconnaissance drones placed in inhabited areas. At TL6 and up, it becomes possible to gather samples by monitoring radio communications from orbit.

Stealth drones are almost impossible for a low-tech society to detect in flight, but at higher tech levels the local sensor network begins to have a chance at detection. It can be difficult to deploy drones where they will have a good vantage point and yet will not be discovered accidentally. Use the appropriate Piloting skill to deliver a stealth drone undetected, at a -1 penalty for each native TL above 6. A failure indicates that the flight had to be aborted, while a critical failure indicates that the probe was lost or shot down. Once the drone has
reached the target area, the pilot can use his Camouflage skill to find a good place from which it can eavesdrop.

Radio monitoring can be done without risk of detection. Use Electronics Operation (Communications) to tap into the local radio net using a ship’s communicators. At higher tech levels the signals themselves may become difficult to interpret. As analog signals give way to digital (late TL7), the eavesdroppers must first break the protocols that encode voice, video, or text data. This requires several hours’ worth of samples and a Cryptography roll, at -2 for
every native TL above 8.

Each flight of a stealth drone can gather 1d-2 hours of useful language samples (minimum 0).I should determine how many hours of samples will be needed before a working model of the language can be derived. If the language is related to a known language (as for a lost colony of some kind) then 2d x 10 hours may be enough to “break” the new dialect. If the language is completely unknown, then at least (2d+8) x 10 hours (100 hrs to 200 hours) of samples will be needed, possibly more if the language has unusual syntax or is communicated in an unusual manner.

In any case, Linguistics rolls will be needed to analyze the samples properly, and to create a database for the new language. At this point, the database is still incomplete, and will not permit anyone to learn the language at better than a Broken comprehension level. Based on Basic, it takes 400 hours of self-learning (ie 400 hours of recording conversation) to raise your language by one level language without a tutor. Halve this if actively working with someone.

Sociological Assessment
Once the local language has been “broken,” explorers must make an initial estimate of local social, cultural, and political parameters. Again, this is based on information gathered through stealth reconnaissance and radio monitoring. However, even if the language is beginning to be known, it will take considerably more work to get insight into the local culture. The rules below assume that at least 200 hours of language samples have been gathered. If less than this is available when the explorers try to make a sociological assessment, apply a -1 penalty to each skill roll for every 10 full hours of deficit. Extra samples give a +1 bonus for every 100 hours of surplus. Video samples or stealth drone photography count double if they show natives interacting socially.
