The Early Adventures

The following is a bit of source material for Adventure 3 that DGP
inadvertantly left out of THE EARLY ADVENTURES when it was being compiled.

       SHURGI MAIN: The Shurgi Main is a branch of the Vland Main, and was
settled during the First Imperium. The Corridor sector was first entered at
the world Sharkagu (Corridor 3235) by ships of the Sharurshid Merchant
Company out of Sakin (Vland 0135). Sharkagu, only one jump away, strongly
resembled Sakin and the colony there has maintained close relations with
the mother planet throughout its history; indeed, it never requested
independence throughout the Long Night, and remains a Sakin colony to this
day.

     At Cafad (Corridor 3135), a low-tech human population was discovered.
The Vilani efforts to integrate the Cafad humans into their Grand Imperium
progressed slowly. The world relapsed into barbarism at the onset of the
Long Night. After centuries of contact with the Third Imperium, Cafad has
only now started to re-embrace technology.

     Igudi (Corridor 2836) discarded most technology during the Long Night.
Its climate is quite hospitable to humans, and the inhabitants prefer an
essentially pastoral existence.  Certain native animals have been
domesticated for food and wool. The populace has shown very little
inclination to technological advancement since the original contact by the
Third Imperium in the first century. Inter- stellar merchants occasionally
visit the world to trade with the locals.

     Palama (Corridor 3240) was only recently colonized because its
resources were not detected until the Tech Level 15 density survey. Its
dense, tainted atmosphere made it unattractive to ordinary colonists.
