System of the Week, Requena

Our next "System of the Week", is Requena.

Requena (Aragon 0104) is a pre-stellar technology system in the Vice Royalty of Aragon.

The starport is a Class C facility.  While able to perform major repairs, the Requena Downport cannot construct new ships, nor sell refined fuel.  There is a Travellers Aid Society facility, but it is limited.

Requena is medium sized.  With a diameter of 7,300 Kilometers.  The atmosphere is a type 4 thin-tainted atmosphere, that requires a filter mask for outdoor activities.  The Hydrosphere is 52%.

With a population of 10,000, the Government is a captive government, controlled directly by the Vice-Royalty itself.   This results in a impersonal buraucracy running the system, with very little local input.  The Law level of 3 reflects a lack of tight control by the Vice-Royalty.

Technology level is 6 - Atomic era.

Requina is in the process of being colonized by the Vice-Royalty.  Only minor terraforming is in progress at this time.  The tainted atmosphere is one of the side effects of attempts to thicken the atmosphere and create a garden world.

The colonization effort had been larger, but during the last war with The People's Republic of Burbank, the Vice-Royalty reduced the workforce drastically.  This pushed back the terraforming schedule, and has resulted in the atmosphere getting worse.  There have been calls in some circles to re-prioritize the project, but they have not been answered.  Meanwhile, the small population continues in caretaker mode.

The roughly cretaceous-era fauna on Requena necessitate a lighter control on personal weapons than the Vice-Royalty might otherwise wish.  Some off-world visitors do come here for hunting safaris.  Some of them even return off-world...but they system is not classified Amber Zone, as the single major settlement is defended by a dedicated security team.

This world is classified as Non-Industrial, due to the lack of high-tech manufacturing.
