Building a Galaxy 11 – The excessively healthy world of New Syroe
As I create worlds for my ongoing Traveller campaign set in the Foreven sector, I’ve been creating the details of new worlds just ahead of my players’ explorations (my previous Foreven posts). I’m usually creating a world based on one of the following:
Recently, I’ve also started creating worlds based entirely on adventure seeds and plot ideas found in various Cepheus and Traveller books I’ve collected over the years.
I took the premise of my last adventure from the out-of-print Traveller supplement 21 Plots III from Gypsy Knights Games (now called Independence Games). It’s a collection of plot seeds; sort of a modern version of 76 Patrons. There are 21 short descriptions of a patron, and some possible twists for each one. It’s specifically designed for use in Independence Games’ Clement Sector setting, but can be easily adapted to other settings.
The patron adventure I used was called “Cream Filled Pastries”. Here’s the basics from the 21 Plots Book:
Zacek wishes to hire the characters to transport a cargo container of cream filled pastries from Cascadia (Cascadia 0705) to Antryl (Cascadia 0704)…Foods such as cream filled pastries are illegal on Antryl. The characters will have to devise a way to get past cargo inspections in system and, if they choose to go there, the highport…
So, based on this, I needed to create a world around the idea of banning sweets. I took a existing world in the Magnus subsector of my Foreven setting to use. All I had was the UWP. Here’s what I came up with
New Syroe

History of New Syroe
A generation ago, New Syroe was a human settled planet facing a health crisis. Most of the planet’s food supply was from off-world, usually highly processed. The planet’s population lived in arcologies. Their lives were generally sedentary, and highly automated (imagine the ship in Wall-E).
Diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease were endemic, and life expectancy was in serious decline.
In response, all political authority was handed over to the Health Initiative – New Syroe’s primary medical authority. They began a crash program to improve the people’s health through the following:
In many ways, the reign of the Health Initiative has been quite successful. Most lifestyle diseases have been nearly eliminated, and New Syroe’s population is the healthiest in the sector. The hydroponics program has become incredibly profitable, and New Syroe-grown produce is valued across the subsector.
The Bad Bits
Unfortunately, the Health Initiative has grown into something of a police state, taking concern for the public health into the realm of fanaticism:
Notable Places and Things on New Syroe
Healthy Heart Initiative (HHI)
The primary paramilitary police force that enforce the Health Initiative’s strict rules. They have near total authority to investigate any health related crime.
HHI Ranks
Berries – Patrolman
Bean – Corporal
Carrot – Sergeant
Broccoli – Detective
Celery – Commander
Tomato – Chief
Kale – Commissioner
Berries (Patrolman) 789565
Athletics-1 Gun Combat (Slug)-0 Melee (unarmed) – 1 Drive (Wheel)-0
Stun Gun (2D Stun), Revolver (3D-3 Damage)
Grey uniforms with berry rank insignia.
Broccoli (Detective) 878A69
Athletics-0 Gun Combat (Slug)-0 Melee (unarmed) – 1 Drive (Wheel)-0 Investigate-1 Streetwise-1
Stun Gun (2D Stun), Revolver (3D-3 Damage)
Gateway to Nutrition
New Syroe’s main starport. HHI agents scan incoming cargo for “nutritional contraband”, specifically:
The walls of the starport are covered with billboards giving various health tips, and warnings about New Syroe’s strict health laws. The starport is connected to Vigor City by monorail and a pressurized motorway.
The Sweet Trade
Despite the best efforts of the HHI, contraband sugar has become increasingly common on New Syroe. Many citizens have a private stash of sugar packets. Current street prices per 30 gram packet:
Brown – 80 Cr
Granulated – 120 Cr
Powdered – 200 Cr
Vigor City
The largest city and capital of New Syroe. It’s a rainbow colored arcology, protecting the populace from the thin atmosphere. Residents can travel around via moving sidewalks, but there are multiple bicycle and jogging paths that most residents use.
Personal vehicles exist, but they are exclusively used for intercity travel. Most vehicles are fruit shaped.
Health Is Wealth Justice Emporium
The main justice facility in Vigor City. It’s the local headquarters for the HHI, and contains the courthouses for nutrition based crimes. Anyone arrested for smuggling will be brought here, along with their contraband.
Lean Muscle Corps
A highly trained rapid reaction force for the New Syroe military. They show up whenever the local HHI is outgunned.
They wear colorful stretchy tactical armor. Imagine 1980s aerobics wear that can stop projectiles. They’re fond of flashy, athletic maneuvers (i.e. combat rolls, parkour), sometimes at the expense of tactical effectiveness.

9mm CalorieBuster Assault Rifle – Damage 3d6, ROF: 3, 30 round mag

Despite progress over generations, women still fare worse than men in labour markets. Differences between men and women in employment rates, participation in part-time work, work quality and pay result in substantial gender gaps in career advancement and earnings throughout working life.
As a recent shift-vert to @AskLumo: is there a button for turning off the #sycophancy? I have modified the "style" in the one Project on my free plan. I don't want to include anti-sycophancy prompts with every other inquiry.
It feels yucky to have my ego stroked by a machine, and I don't need it ~ I need clear, objective perspective on my blind spots.
I see this is a "known bug", so consider this my ticket: #global #antisycophancy #settings please.
