< Keepdown | TiLDeR Cluster | Caliban >

• T: +1 (Commercializes the exploitation of the system, can be exported, can trade with slipstream cultures)
• E: 0 (Single world, comfy human habitation w/o special tools, other barren worlds)
• R: +3 (Multiple exports, unobtainium!, raw material to manufactured goods, leasing slipships)

Aspects:

• Dangerously Bored Rich
• Ridiculously Nutritious Food (life extension)
• Benevolent Dictator for Life

Desc:

Trinculo could easily be the beating heart of the cluster, but the ubiquitous availability of food stuffs throughout the verdant world have both extended the native’s lifespan and expontentially increased their desire for meaningless excess in the place of actual achievement. Among the planet’s idle rich extreme sports, “reality” entertainment programming, and illicit “hunt the most dangerous game” expeditions distract the world’s finest minds. Trinculo is a world of unhealthy extremes: Mountains that breach the atmosphere, man-made buildings that attempt to, massive entertainment industries, incredibly conservative religious minorities, extremely high crime rates, and morality generally as thin on the ground as the food is thick.

Ruled (as much as anyone on the world is ruled) by the biologist-savant who developed the first ’superfoods’ from the native plantlife several centuries ago, the system resists any outside attempts to harvest resources from the system just as strongly as it resists attempts from within to push it into the Cluster as true power; those with sway in Trinculo seem more than happy to remain an insular sybaritic paradise.
