Rigid Culture[edit]

Certain forms of behavior and belief are absolutely mandated, and any deviation from these principles is punished, or else society may be strongly stratified by birth with limited prospects for change. Anything which threatens the existing social order is feared and shunned.

Xenophobes[edit]
The natives are intensely averse to dealings with outworlders. Whether through cultural revulsion, fear of tech contamination, or a genuine immunodeficiency, the locals shun foreigners from offworld and refuse to have anything to do with them beyond the bare necessities of contact. Trade may or may not exist on this world, but if it does, it is almost certainly conducted by a caste of untouchables and outcasts.
Enemies:
- Revulsed local ruler
- Native convinced some wrong was done to him
- Cynical demagogue
Friends:
- Curious native
- Exiled former ruler
- Local desperately seeking outworlder help
Complications:
- The natives are symptomless carriers of a contagious and dangerous disease
- The natives are exceptionally vulnerable to offworld diseases
- The natives require elaborate purification rituals after speaking to an offworlder or touching them
- The local ruler has forbidden any mercantile dealings with outworlders
Things:
- Jealously-guarded precious relic
- Local product under export ban
- Esoteric local technology
Places:
- Sealed treaty port
- Public ritual not open to outsiders
- Outcaste slum home
