Humanoids, Catullans are noted starship engineers and many successful design yards are based out of the Catullan system. The well-known Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems was co-founded by Terrans and Catullans and is headquartered on Catulla. Their other sciences and society are slightly less advanced, but well up to Federation standards.
Name
- Proper Name: Catullan
- Pronunciation:
Home System
- Quadrant: Beta
- Location: ?? Sector (coordinates B27-0002-1300 )
- Proper Name: Cendo Ipraem
- Pronunciation:
- Star: It orbits a class G (Yellow) star
- Distance from Star: orbit is approximately 148 million km
- Companions: 4 other planets. It is the 3rd planet in the system
Home World
- Proper Name: Cendo Prae
- Pronunciation:
- Diameter: 13,585km (8,441 miles)
- Gravity: 1.3 standard gravity with a density of 6.3
- Axial Tilt: 6.4%, slight seasonal variance
- Orbital Period: 339 days
- Rotational Period: 27 hours
- Classification: M
- Surface Water: 82.1%
- Atmosphere: 1.2 is a standard pressure with 75% nitrogen, 24% oxygen, 1% trace chemicals
- Climate: Bulk of land masses occur within semi-equatorial and true equatorial zones
- Population: Just over 2.28 billion
History
Standard for many M-class worlds:
- tribes lead to small city-states,
- city states combined into larger economic and political units (kingdoms, empires, republics) by aggression or treaty,
- larger units fractured again as conditions changed (natural disasters making powerful states into weak ones, failures in inherited leadership, technological discoveries providing temporary economic advantages, etc.)
Not all, but most of planet's arable land is within a day's foot travel of coastline, and generally slopes upward from coast into mountains. There are very few plateaus or plains above sea level, and as a consequence naval power rather than infantry was traditionally the dominant means by which control of territory was asserted.
Some scholars assert that the necessity to make the most of every single accessible resource in order to survive and progress has contributed to Catullan engineering prowess. They point to the need for
- terraced agriculture and irrigation,
- earthquake/storm-resistant architecture,
- mining which did caused the minimum possible disruption of other surface uses,
- ships which made the best possible use of rare timber and metals,
- technology for navigation and cartography,
- portability and durability (water-proofing?) as a dominant feature in item development.
Other scholars dispute this, pointing out that on many worlds cultures which develop in warm, welcoming tropical climates have the least pressure to evolve.
