	<u>Nation Capitol</u>: This is the capitol planet of the nation. Assuming it is of least Sector Capitol definition, it receives the capabilities, resources and talents of all its member worlds through indirect flow towards the political center of the nation. The most RP revenue its status will ever generate is 600, but it can be lower, based upon the number of inhabited worlds within the nation. It is generally referred to as a Nation Capitol (planet category). (''ex: Nation Capitol (Minor Industrial)'') Where a Nation Capitol also serves as a Sector Capitol, the Sector status is disregarded, in favor of the National.		<u>Nation Capitol</u>: This is the capitol planet of the nation.

	<u>Sector Capitol</u>: Within a (general) twenty lightyear-cubed sector, there is generally one world which represents all the others within that sector and benefits from the inflow of resources. As long as there are two inhabited worlds within a sector, one is generally established as the sector capitol (though referred to as a 'sector center' in less-populated sectors). It generates either 250 or 500 RPs, dependent upon the size of the capital world. It is generally referred to as a Sector Capitol (planet category).

	<u>Major Industrial Worlds</u>: There is usually more than one important world within any given sector of note, but only one has the title of sector capitol. The other major worlds, usually racial homeworlds, provide 400 RPs to the national economy, based on the attributes associated with that world.		<u>Major Industrial Worlds</u>: There is usually more than one important world within any given sector of note, but only one has the title of sector capitol. The other major worlds, usually racial homeworlds, provide 400 RPs to the national economy, based on the attributes associated with that world.

	<u>Minor Industrial Worlds</u>: Planets that are member worlds but are not known for their large vibrant population still bring ~~value – and RPs – to~~ the national economy. These worlds may be racial homeworlds of no great stature or they may be former colonies that have reached their own. In any case, they generate 200 RPs. In-character, they will not generally achieve Major Industrial status within any time span concerned, as their 'natural' evolution does not lead them to that level of expansion. However, authorities may decide the planet would better serve as a more important location if it were a Major Industrial planet. In that case, a committed focus to developing the world must be made and over a 1d10 +10 year period, 2,000 RPs must be spent to improve the infrastructure necessary to make the world more capable. See [[Purchase Options]] for more details.		<u>Minor Industrial Worlds</u>: Planets that are member worlds but are not known for their large vibrant population still bring value—and RPs—to the national economy.

	<u>Colony (Independent)</u>: At some point, colonies become self-sufficient and start providing payback for the support provided by the nation. They generally provide only a minimum amount of RPs, and that is determined both by time and success of the colony. The table below ('''Productivity of Planets''') indicates how many RPs any given colony (by time period) provides, with the annual chance per year that the colony will enter the next stage. A Colony at Stage 9 has a 20% chance of achieving a promotion to an Industrial stage world. When it does achieve that level, there is a 10% chance it will become a Major (vice a Minor) Industrial world.

	<u>Colony (Dependent)</u>: A new colony requires the support of the nation in order to get going, and such all – if any – resources it provides will be overshadowed by the cost of support.

	Mediation is always a preferred course. This is approached differently than with the Command Skill from a visiting starship. In this case, an ambassador will be dispatched (via an announced starship). Upon his arrival at the planet he will offer his services in mediation. As this will be seen as coming at a time of advantage for one of the two sides, the difficulty in getting both sides to agree will be difficult; the Ambassador's skill (determined by the [[Skills#Command_Skill\|Command Skill Generation table]] for the appropriate era, under the CAPT column) will be reduced by 50%. A success means both parties agree to meet; a failure requires another 1d6 months before another attempt can be offered. If both parties agree, the first action the ambassador will attempt is to get the sides to agree to a cease fire during the negotiations. This skill will be Routine (i.e., no penalty). Success means the conflict is suspended and there is no change in the Unrest Rate for that month.		Mediation is always a preferred course.

	The Unrest Rate can be lowered by an increase in military presence. For each 1,000 Marine Points (that is the equivalent of 1,000 Starfleet Marines) present on the planet, the Unrest Rate is ~~lowered~~ by 1 point. However, to keep a contingent on a planet for greater than three months requires that a camp be built. A starship can decrease an Unrest Rate further, according to the following chart. The reduction of the Unrest Rate remains when the starship departs, unless the Unrest Rate increases again due to other reasons. Follow-on visits by the same or other starships will not reduce it further, for at least another year. If a more ‘influential’ starship arrives during the same period of Unrest Influence (one year), it ''only'' reduces it by the amount of influence it has greater than the previous starship.
