Building a Galaxy 11 โ€“ The excessively healthy world of New Syroe

As I create worlds for my ongoing Traveller campaign set in the Foreven sector, Iโ€™ve been creating the details of new worlds just ahead of my playersโ€™ explorations (my previous Foreven posts). Iโ€™m usually creating a world based on one of the following:


  • Based on the randomly generated UWP of the planet
  • Based on a idea from fiction
  • Just using an existing Traveller or Cepheus setting


Recently, Iโ€™ve also started creating worlds based entirely on adventure seeds and plot ideas found in various Cepheus and Traveller books Iโ€™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). Itโ€™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. Itโ€™s specifically designed for use in Independence Gamesโ€™ Clement Sector setting, but can be easily adapted to other settings.

The patron adventure I used was called โ€œCream Filled Pastriesโ€. Hereโ€™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)โ€ฆFoods 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 highportโ€ฆ

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. Hereโ€™s what I came up with

New Syroe


2231 New Syroe C94978B-8
Starport: Routine quality installation. Only unrefined fuel available. Reasonable repair facilities are present.
Size: 14,400km, 1.25G
Atmosphere: Thin / Tainted โ€“ Thin. Tainted requires a filter mask. The atmosphere contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a filter mask.
Hydrosphere: Very Wet World, 86 โ€“ 95%, It is a marine (near superhydrous) environment.
Population: Moderate, 10 Million to just under 100 Million (P0,000,000)
Government: Civil Service Bureaucracy โ€“ Government by agencies employing individuals selected for their expertise.
Law Level: Extreme Law โ€“ Rigid control of civilian movement
Tech Level: Information Age โ€“ 1990 CE โ€“ Cell phones, photonics, slow drug.

History of New Syroe


A generation ago, New Syroe was a human settled planet facing a health crisis. Most of the planetโ€™s food supply was from off-world, usually highly processed. The planetโ€™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 โ€“ New Syroeโ€™s primary medical authority. They began a crash program to improve the peopleโ€™s health through the following:


  • Began a program of hydroponics, so New Syroe could grow its own healthy fruits and vegetables
  • Limited the import of unhealthy foods.
  • Promoted exercise and healthy lifestyles.

In many ways, the reign of the Health Initiative has been quite successful. Most lifestyle diseases have been nearly eliminated, and New Syroeโ€™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:


  • All unhealthy food is banned and possession is considered a crime.
  • Morning and evening calisthenics is mandatory for all citizens
  • Random blood tests are performed on citizens to check for high cholesterol or blood sugar.
  • All citizens are issued Health Bracelets that act like FitBits. They record heart rate, body temperature, and other medical data. This data can be accessed by the government at any time.
  • All citizens are required by law to take at least 10,000 steps a day.


Notable Places and Things on New Syroe

Healthy Heart Initiative (HHI)


The primary paramilitary police force that enforce the Health Initiativeโ€™s strict rules. They have near total authority to investigate any health related crime.

HHI Ranks

  • Berries โ€“ Patrolman
  • Bean โ€“ Corporal
  • Carrot โ€“ Sergeant
  • Broccoli โ€“ Detective
  • Celery โ€“ Commander
  • Tomato โ€“ Chief
  • Kale โ€“ Commissioner


Berries (Patrolman) 789565
Athletics-1 Gun Combat (Slug)-0 Melee (unarmed) โ€“ 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) โ€“ 1 Drive (Wheel)-0 Investigate-1 Streetwise-1
Stun Gun (2D Stun), Revolver (3D-3 Damage)

Gateway to Nutrition

New Syroeโ€™s main starport. HHI agents scan incoming cargo for โ€œnutritional contrabandโ€, specifically:


  • Sugar
  • High cholesterol foods
  • Food containing nitrates (Bacon is particularly forbidden)
  • Salty snacks


The walls of the starport are covered with billboards giving various health tips, and warnings about New Syroeโ€™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 โ€“ 80 Cr
Granulated โ€“ 120 Cr
Powdered โ€“ 200 Cr

Vigor City

The largest city and capital of New Syroe. Itโ€™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. Itโ€™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. Theyโ€™re fond of flashy, athletic maneuvers (i.e. combat rolls, parkour), sometimes at the expense of tactical effectiveness.

Watch | Tucker Carlson says that the attack on journalist Steve Sweeney in Lebanon was not accidental but intentional, as the aircraft involved had attempted to target him deliberately.

He further said that journalists covering Israeli crimes have been intentionally killed, including Western reporters, and added that such incidents are part of a broader pattern of suppression of reporting during the war on Iran.

Carlson also added that limited media coverage is due to threats faced by journalists on the ground.

B'tselem reported that Israel is using the same methods of attacks in Lebanon โ€œsimilar to the model of Rafah and Beit Hanoun,โ€ citing statements by Defense Minister Israel Katz.

Israel carried out repeated strikes on civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, power and water facilities, bridges, and roads, with over a 1,888 killed 6,092 injured since March 2, 2026.

Also it forced the mass displacement of thousands, and ordered the widespread destruction of villages over the past month. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also said Israel will expand its borders into Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria during a West Bank settlement event.
