Sadalmelik - Data Panel | |
| System | Sadalmelic |
|---|---|
| Primary: | Alpha Aquarius |
| Stellar Type: | G0 (temporarily) stable yellow giant luminosity 3000xSol Sadalmelic is one of three coeval yellow giants, now widely separated. The other two are Sadalsuud and Enif- all have been artificially stabilised since the Enif superflare incident in 6909. |
| Companion: | none |
| Region: | Mutual Progress Association middle Region, 720 ly from Sol |
| Planets: | Asterix 8 AU Cinderworld: Thermophile station and extensive amat farms - no volatiles Obelix 12 AU Cinderworld: Thermophile and aioid domes- no volatiles Smaller Bodies: from 20AU to 100AU orbit: 2X10^4 planetoids and asteroids - many converted to O'Neill, Hamilton, or Bernal habitats Volatile rich KBOs commence at 80 AU |
| AI | AI overseers Karoo - (5 Burning Hunger Bishop Rings)- the microwormhole connections as each ring is separated by 40 AU. Daleth Overseer (Daleth Banks Orbital) |
| Polity | Name: Sadelmelic Alliance Symbol: five linked rings inside a larger ring Affiliation: Mutual Progress Association Colonized: 4101 Major Orbitals: All orbitals in 70AU orbit Burning Hunger (5x2000km Bishop Rings) - a reconstruction of the Central African Biome, Earth, approximately 3000 b.c.e. Daleth Orbital (14,000,000 diameter Banks Orbital) - High tech and agricultural temperate orbital, many conurbations and pendant substructures. |
| Psyche, Art, Culture | Metapsychology: The Burning Hunger rings are Rianth Bishop ring cultures (More information here). Daleth- Augmented posthuman cyber cities and recreational agriculture or wilderness areas: some cities are semi-concerted mind hives, others materialist free zones Metaethics: Most rianths on Burning Hunger habitats are connected to life retrieval technology, however some Animist or Zarathrustan clades prefer to die completely when the time comes. Daleth: the Neoedenist collective Ai/symbionts of some cybercities are uncomfortably evangelistic, but the Orbital AI is laissez-faire in relation to culture change-(e is mostly concerned with safety issues since the sabotage of the original ring in 7311 (see Bluesky Bio) |
| Ideology: | Hunger: Universal Splice and Provolve Church Animism Daleth: Zaratrustanism Neoedenism MPA Materialism Omegism (open and closed) Asteroid Habitats: MPA Materialism Zoeticism Undyoism Islam Universal Church Abundance Anarchism Kya Observance |
| Culture and Art: | Burning Hunger Rianth culture occurs mostly via the local and Known Net - Despite their atavistic lifestyle, some herbivorous and carnivorous clades are intellectually involved in the Terragen Noosphere, while others are abandoning language altogether. Extreme tourism, hunting (both as predator and prey) and voluntary termination are commonplace on these rings. Daleth culture is polarised between posthuman individualist ranging from turingrade to S>1, and the networked cyberpolities, with the most positive product being competition in the virtual and concrete arts, particularly architecture. Asteroid Habitat culture is cosmopolitan, with each habitat widely spaced (Average distance to neighbour 10 AU)- As well as MPA sponsored independent microworlds, some NoCoZo-(ex Penglai or Terranovan), Nanloon, Terran Fed, Sophic League (Umma and others), and Ula(f) habitats have been established- and some few Version Tree Autofacs- many relativistic stopover stations in closer orbits esp Laylaron Amat stores |
| Languages: | Anglish, Galanglic, Yerkish, Ameslan, Brev, Solresol, Academic Coronese, Terranovan, Nanloon, |
| Territory and Population | Population: Bishop rings: 500 million Rianth (many billions of natural or lazurogened baseline mammals) Daleth Orbital: 6 Billion individualist posthumans 12 Billion partially or totally collective posthumans 5 billion near baseline humans 4 billion aioid 15 billion virtual Asteroid habitats: 20 billion near baseline and mild heteromorph 15 billion tweak and moderate to strong heteromorph 5 billion splice 2 billion provolve 2 billion vec |
| Immigration: | Inward: 10 million per year from Inner Sphere outward: 200 million per annum to Sagittarius and Aquila expansion directions |
| Economics, Local Infrastructure | Currency: Erg, Joule, Solar credit, Turing credit (processing equivalent credit) Major Industries: Amat production (supplies relativistic stopovers for hundreds of cubic ly) posthuman Art, sentient programs, tourism especially from NoCoZo homicideophiles Angelnetting: (in 70 AU orbit only) Total |
| Travel | Stargates: Savanna Dawn (To Djed) Pumba (To Sadalsuud) Don't Ask Me I Only Work Here (to Eden II) Major Spaceports: Daleth Hub, Obelix Amat Combine Hazard Rating: Burning Hunger 1.5 with due precautions Daleth 0.5 (beware evangelical unification) Visa Restrictions: Limited duration to Hunger Rings for Provolves at present Freedom of Movement: Caution advised near Laylaron and Metasoft Habitats and near Unity City, Daleth Environmental Requirements: Obligatory Heat shielding/Neutrino cooling near central region Sites of Interest: New Serengeti, Soda Lake, Azania plains, Emerald City (Daleth), Ur of the Cyborgs (Daleth_, Nanloon guest biohabitats |
