Information for Travellers

The Mertactor system contains thirteen rocky worlds, and an asteroid belt.

The planet Mertactor is a Rich meso world with a standard atmosphere and a small amount of surface water.

The Mertactor system has many small Starports. The planet Mertactor is orbited by the main Class B Starport. There is plenty of water and ice on the outer planets.

There is a Scout base on the moon Hord.

Mertactor is a member of the Third Imperium. Several Knights have estates on the planet Mertactor.

The planet Mertactor is a lush world with a population of 10,000,000 sophonts. Aslan make up 10% of the population.

The planet Mertactor is a mercantile world and is reliant on goods brought in by off-world traders to maintain TL-11.

Mertactor was settled by colonists from Mora sometime in the 400s. The planet quickly gained a reputation for its swashbuckling traders, and a small number of mercantile families became the hereditary rulers of the Governing council. Women hold many of the positions of power as men are expected to be starship captains.

All industry is kept off-world, leaving the planet Mertactor as a nature preserve.

In 950 a number of Aslan mercenary clans arrived and quickly assimilated into Mertactor culture.

Mertactor has a low Law Level. Competition between the various ruling families is fierce – the culture is often compared to a medieval Italian City State of ancient Terra - and street fights and duels of honour are common. Outsiders are welcome, but anyone seeking residency will need to obtain the patronage of a ruling family.

The simulation is currently stable, but that might change when running the simulation forward.
