Galactography


System: Audubon

Primary: HR 8501A

Stellar Type: G1v

Region: Inner sphere, NoCoZo affiliate, 44ly from Sol , constellation Grus

Companion: HR 85012B - Mv Red Dwarf 36 AU distant Water rich asteroids of HR 85012B support three dyson tree posthuman colonies affiliated to Edenism

Planets and Asteroids: (HR 8501A )
Energy collection stations on inner asteroid belt (Vulcanian and Aten asteroids)

2 x Planetoids in inner orbits
  1. Douglas 500 km dia- 50 million km eccentric orbit
  2. Banks 200 km dia- 90 million km eccentric orbit


Planets
  1. Audubon 4000km dia- mini-arean subtype-130 km million orbit -now terraformed
  2. Linnaeus 18,000km dia-microjovian subtype- 170 million km orbit - minimal magnetic field
    moons of Linnaeus
    1. Tradescant 3000 km dia- lunar subclass now paraterraformed
    2. Lovelock 1000 km dia-basaltic moon
  3. De Bourgainville 6000 km dia- arean subclass -now terraformed - 220 million km orbit- Zarathustran colony
  4. Cousteau 120,000 km dia- jovian -500,000 million km orbit


AI


AI powers:
Douglas Planetoid: Karel tchapek, the ascended original probe AI , now affiliated to NoCoZo
Maintains angelnetting over energy stations and inner asteroid belt

Audubon: Gosse, the ascended ship AI from the original colony mission, now affiliated to NoCoZo
Maintains angelnetting over Audubon and nano immunity over outer planets except Linnaeus

Both inner system AI finally entered an accord with the rival Linnent company AI , O'Brien, in 7109 after the formal absorption of all 4 remaining Linnent Engenerator colonies into the NoCoZo.
Previously Tradescant was an independent company world, the last independent part of the Terranovan Foundation.
All three system AI's now form the Audubon Concert, with an undisclosed amount of exchanged consciousness.

AI ethos: Noncoercive, inner sphere conservative

Polity


Name: Audubon

Symbol: a Blue Magpie

Affiliation: Inner Sphere NoCoZo

Colonized: 1482 a.t. by Engenerated Copy Crew (telecopied by laser)

Psyche, Art, Culture


Metapsychology: The Cyborgised Crew have cladised to become a city dwelling high tech culture on Douglas and Audubon, while the Revived Colonists are dedicated green environmentalists living in the agricultural and forested regions of Audubon and De Bourgainville. The Copy Crew, the first humans ever recreated at a distance of several lightyears by engenerator in 1482, became disaffected and moved to Tradescant, where they created the Linnaeus Enterprises empire with support from the Terranova Foundation, and the Linnaeus system became more wealthy than the rest of the solar system combined, terraformed their world into parkland and lived on vatgrown food. Following the recession caused by the Mind Control scandal at Bolobo and two other Engenerator colonies the Copy Crew Clade retreated to a great extent into virtuality, with the Green Colonists tending the abandoned parkland.

The Linnaeaus Enterprises empire became the Linn-ent empire, and spread out along the southern edge of the Galactic disk towards the core. These worlds had few wormhole connections, relying to a greater or lesser extent on engenerator links and relativistic trader ships. Despite being informally aligned with the NoCoZo, the Linn-ent Empire became insular and isolated, and has been badly affected by the Oracle War.

Metaethics: Engenerated copies are regarded as full citizens, and have the same property rights as the children of the originals (and can be disowned.)

Mediation by Zarathustran philosopher/counsellors prevented the Negentropy 45th relativists from bombarding Audubon with kinetic vapour in 4577 during the Version War.

Religion/Ideology: DeBourgainville is a centre for the Zarathustran philosophy, which arrived with a relativistic crew in 4002 from nearby Gamma Pavonis. The Multicopied colonists and crews have developed an idiosyncratic version of Soul Copy Universalism. Terranovan Empathism has a broad influence in Tradescant and is now popular in all worlds.

Culture and Art: Landscape gardening, Virtual world creation, Planetoid fractal architecture (Banks Planetoid, named after Sir Joseph Banks not the well known fabulist), Low Grav ballet and human powered flight

Language: Anglish, Terranovan, Zarathustran dialects, Brev
