Its land surface of 194,000,000 km² (75,000,000 miles², 130% of Earth land area) is, with the exception of the Imperial Palace, entirely enclosed in artificial domes. It has a population of 45 billion.
As the center of the Imperial Government for unbroken hundreds of generations and located, as it was, toward the central regions of the Galaxy among the most densely populated and industrially advanced worlds of the system, it could scarcely help being the densest and richest clot of humanity the Race had ever seen.
History -Founded during the 1st Terran Empire 20000 AD this world was build with the most advanced technology that the former league of world members could bring to bare.
The Pé Chói, the Terrans, the Páchi Léi , and the Tinalíya. all brought many of their world's treasures here so that others might marvel at them.
Enconomy
This world is at the center of several important interstellar trade routes. It is the center for many sectors of production, industry, & technology including the most highly advanced aspects of planar engines.
Technology
Hnalla II is the center of trade for a myriad of the the races of the Empire. Anything is available for a price. The lower levels support a number of black markets & anything from militery grade weapons to forbidden psychic techniques are available. The ship yards of Hnalla are renowned for the quality of interstellar craft.
Levels- There are 772 levels on this world. Each one progressively lower tech then the upper levels which bask in the small artificial super suns that light some of the princely manors that dot across the surface of this world
Crime-
As the largest trade planet in its sector of space Hnalla II sees its fair share of crime. The opportunities for vice, drug trafficking, piracy, not to mention the official corruption. The opportunities for all of the above activities are endless making this truly the jewel of Empire.
Infamous Locations on Hnalla
First Level

This is the Grand Area & its blood soaked sand greets a million gladiators & fools out to prove their mettle. For a mere 10 credits entry fee you too can entertain the crowd. Royals from all over the Empire come here to be entertain & thrilled

Level 25

Beware the inner levels - Here the lost & damned prey upon many who come by. Beware the black markets & other temporary places of vice & crime.
Enjoy your stay
Nice world for a sandbox. Starting a campaign there?
ReplyDeleteThe decreasing tech levels going down into the world reminds me a bit of Iain M. Banks' Matter, the novel about the huge artificial Shell planet where each level contained a world surface with nuclear roll stars, and multiple civs...some sort of late medieval.
At one point I thought it would be cool to design a game world like that where each level was based on a Heavy Metal magazine series...so there's a Druuna level, a Lone Sloane level, an Air-Tight Garage level, an Arzach level, a Den level, a Bilal-Immortals level, etc.
This is my "trantor" world named after the god of Stability in Empire of the petal throne. I need a sort of Coursant type of world for my Human Space Empire Game coming up. This is sort of a world that the Emperor went "Meh" & went back home. So there it sits waiting to come back into favor.
ReplyDeleteThat design sounds very cool man, very cool indeed!
Cool. Good use of stock photos. This looks like a great place to run a sandbox campaign. Looking forward to seeing how you flesh it out further in the weeks ahead.
ReplyDeleteSeediness under splendour. It's a whole world of adventure, with plenty to build on. I'd also be interested in where you take this, as with everything you do.
ReplyDeleteGood post.
ReplyDelete@Drune - That Heavy Metal world idea is a good one.
