The Murtath System’s namesake planet is the zivoy homeworld. While many zivoys fled Murtath, there’s still enough of a population for some semblance of government.

Borders

Selective

Selective cultures only allow visitors and immigrants from specific places. Such a Culture does not allow others from places deemed dangerous, but may make an exception with heavy vetting.

Bonus: If you come from a Selective Culture, increase the dice sizes of one of your Mental Skills to a d12, one of your Social Skills to a d10, any other skill to a d10, any two Skills you want to a d8, and any three other Skills to a d6.

Population Density

Suburban

Suburban cultures are not as crowded as urban ones, but still pack people in close enough together to form tight-knit communities.

Bonus: If you come from a Suburban Culture, you gain an additional 5000 Argent to buy your starting Equipment.

Diversity

Homogeneous

Homogeneous cultures consist mainly of a single Species that holds most of the culture’s power and identity.

Bonus: If you come from a Homogeneous Culture, you gain two Special Abilities and two Nova Abilities from your Species.

Economic Status

Intermediate

Intermediate cultures have enough economic opportunity for most people to make a living, but most are not fabulously Wealthy either. Intermediate cultures can be found on the outskirts of the Heartworlds and in the Midbelt.

Bonus: If you come from an Intermediate Culture, you gain 5,000 Argent to buy your starting Equipment. In addition, increase the dice sized of two of your Skills by 1.
