====Stations and other objects====
STB-1406.  Building up to be a full fledged Starbase.  Much of the construction is being done by Damyip 14-1 from Federation plans. 
Pytol has a full constellation of Satellites, also courtesy of Damyip 14-1.  These allow planetary scans, communications and tranporter relay. 
Ship Facilities:STB-1406 can fuel, resupply and repair any Federation starship. 
It can repair up to moderate damage on any 2 ships up to Dolphin or Odessey sized. 
It can repair serious damage to one ship at a time. 
This capacity is being enlarged at this time. Damyip 14.1 is also in system with large capacities. 
The Starbase is currently 30% complete, so will grow in capacity as it is completed. 
===Locations:===
*Zapot City - the capital of Pytol.  Imagine Las Vegas on the beach at Honolulu.  ===
*Administration center.  A huge, imposing gray building.  It resembles a chunk of Damyip War Block unravelled and placed on the ground.  This is not far from the truth.  It used to be the home of a fleet of occupation bots and the Damyip trying to administer the planet.  Now it's more the home of the Damyip Support effort.  Around it There is parkland.  It is just outside Zapot City.
*Federation Town - under construction, will form the Federation point of contact and education. 
*The Topaz Strip - Home of dozens of high end hotels and casinos.  Also where informal groups of Pytollians met to conspire and collude. Presented the image of a rich, happy place during the occupation, in really a den of corruption and vice.   
*Governor's Mansion and Administration complex.  Bombed and then rebuilt during the occupation, often occupied by a figurehead who was trying to split both ends against the middle.  Also Formerly home of the Pytol National Police, a corrupt tool of mobsters and organized crime. Recently re-organized.
*Northern Woodlands - On the northern polar continent there are large temperate forests.  The are is home to Lefyt who opted out of society and live wild. 
*A million islands of various sizes.  Natives fish, farm and try to get along without too much headache from the Damyip occupation or the Mobs of the Big Island. 
====Environmental notes:====
Slightly warmer than average, Pytol is tropical over most of it surface.  The poles are temperate.  The equator is all but unbearable for Lefyt and Humans. 
The surface of Pytol has a few sizable islands, but innumerable small ones.
General Tech level:Uneven.  before the conquest, the general Lefyt technology was present, generally between 12 and 13. 
Afterwards, support for technology disappeared, and some areas regressed to somewhere between tech level 8 and 10, with scavenged or carefully husbanded elements of tech level 12 and 13. 
Currently work is underway to spread modern Federation technology around. This promises to take a while. 
====Government====
The Pytol formed a parliament.  Their head of state is the Prime Minister.  They are Federation and Damyip positive. Most of the Lefyt people on Pytol have grown up with Damyip around and are used to them. 
The Sea Police and the National Police have been disbanded in favor of the Pytol Self Defense Force (PSDF)
The world is officially a Federation Protectorate, with the Damyip assisting as allies of the Federation. 
Unofficially the Federation cannot put enough people on Pytol the enforce the law, and so must depend on the PSDF to do the lions share. Starfleet and the Damyip act as a swat team to back up the Pytol Self Defense Force. 
Population:3 billion people
Races presentMostly Lefyt. They tend to darker skin, fading into bronze and red. 
There are numbers of people from other Lefyt worlds, as well as visitors from The Federation The Bendarri and Botchok. 
Cultural notesPreviously, the Pytolese smiled to the face of the occupation bots, and did whatever they wanted behind closed doors. 
Pytol was rife with corruption and crime.
If you had connections you traded favors and bribes to get ahead. If you didn't, you were poor. 
When the Damyip Occupation ended, The Damyip grabbed a bunch of sidelined reformers and anti corruption activists, and had them form a provisional government
2/12 they have struggled to stamp out corruption, but are still working on it.
Damyip 14.1.6 and the Federation are working on backing up non-corrupt cops and legal authorities where they can. 
Pytolese will cheerfully offer cash discounts and offer favors, and trust their network of trusted friend much much more than outsiders. 
The typical Pytolese response is to be friendly and concilitory to outsiders, but never say all they know.  
Languages:Pytolese, an offshoot of the original Lefyt tongue. It has numerous dialects and regional variations.  Most have been cataloged and scanned for translators. 
The word among organized crime is that Starfleet are off limits. None of the various Mafias and crews want to involve Starfleet in their business. They just smile, say nothing and fade away.
If your crew or your operation draws a Starfleet/Damyip response, the current idea is that it was your fault for being too open, blatant and stupid. Operations, groups or places that draw a raid are abandoned.
Current organized crime greeting rituals involve cutting and body display, trying to root out Infiltration-bots. 
Old time gangsters will have detailed tattoos telling their story. There is a detailed heraldry that only a handful of tattoo artists know. 
This is one area where Infiltration-Bots are still in operation and still getting improved. 
But its going to be a long time before the casual corruption and organized crime is rooted out.
On the other hand, most Pytolese want a world without that crap and seem to welcome a world with fewer threatening tough guys in it. 
====Military:====
Pre-War Pytol had a Home Guard and Lefyt Colonial Warrior bases. 
After the war, various bands of Home Guard and Warriors became gangs and began to fight for control.
Once the Occupation government set up, they created the Sea Police, which tried to enforce law and order on the seas and Islands of Pytol. 
The success of this effort was mixed at best and there was a lot of corruption. 
After the occupation ended, the Sea Police were Disbanded and the Pytol Self Defense Force has been instituted.  Its a national police force more than a military force. Starfleet maintains a small ground crew with a security and investigation force, that supports the Pytol Parliament and the PSDF. 
Starting from the ground up has allowed a new, less corrupt force to be recruited and organized.  
The PSDF and Starfleet detachment on the planet are called Orange-Men because of the presence of Damyip crew units among them. The Crew units attached to the PSDF can alter their color to dark gray to avoid being targets.
The PSDF has a number of old spies, freelancers and adventurers helping them map the underworld of Pytol.  The PSDF Intelligence unit is very secretive and security conscious.  
Pytol has almost no native space defense, depending on Starbase 1406 and the Damyip to handle it. 
Experienced crews and Organized Crime units on Pytol can be scary, so the PSDF is also becoming quite adept at the use of force and small unit tactics, as well as various security and intelligence measures.  
The PSDF uses boats and AG Flyers and mall arms. 
====Strategic Importance:====
Pytol is the anchor point of the Federation presence in the Lefyt system.  So it's pretty important. 
====Relations:====
Anyone from the Lefyt worlds can come and go. But the Pytol SDF has a database on criminals and their border patrol will check. 
Visitors from the Federation and the Bendarri are welcome.  Visitors from Botchok are also welcome, but the Pytol government has let it be known, it's very solidly in the pro-Federation camp. 
There are a couple of Ferengi merchants trying to build up a presence.  Their obvious outsider nature makes it difficult for them to gain trust, so forming commercial relationships is a long term process.   Ferengi tourists are welcome, but its a pretty long slog.
Musari visitors are welcomed.  
Klingons - Klingons are welcomed as tourists.  Klingons may be approached to conduct mercenary tours.  These are usually fraught with deceit and betrayal. The PSDF will hire Klingon Mercenaries, this doesn't pay as well, but it less complex and back-stabby.  
Advantages:Its sunny, and oceany and filled with happy people
The Zapot strip is a lot of fun in a circus-meets-vegas sort of way. 
Taking a cruise or a fishing trip on the ocean is really nice.
Pytol has a large population and is recovering it's technological base pretty quickly. 
Weaknesses:It seems like someone's always working an angle and not saying everything they know. 
Gangs and organized crime crews can be dangerous under the wrong circumstances. 
====Notable Members:
 ====
Damyip 14.1.6 This is the Damyip Spun off to run the Occupation Government during the Occupation.  Now it's working as a civil servant and trying to help the Pytolese get self sufficient so it can reduce the Damyip presence.  So far this has not been as smooth as Damyip 14.1.6 has hoped. 
Damyip 14.1.6 Subunits act as police and do other support functions. there are still a large number of occupation bots doing police duties.  The Pytol seem to like them. 
Prime Minister Cor-tan  Bor-gal-o-tan (Syllables in Pytolese names are seperated by hyphens)  A well meaning political wheeler dealer.  He knows someone who knows everyone somehow.  
He takes a passive view of the PSDF and it's law enforcement activites.  This way he can credibly claim that investigations and raids are just the process and he has no ability to control it.
Behind the scenes he has arranged a network of spies and informants, led by three scary people.  His folks are the source for a lot of information about the underworld and a lot of actionable tips. 
(Meta His guys are ex-spies and ex-mobsters who lost serious control struggles and were ruined.  Their fortune is tied to The Prime Minister. He is using his advisors, his intelligence set up and the PSDF to systematically screw everyone who could threaten his power on the corrupt layer.
Cor-tan  Bor-gal-o-tan would not balk in the slightest to have his own thugs and organized crime guys.  But his experts have decided they won't let him. So every time he tries to make such contacts and form his own underworld network, one of his guys rolls it up. A mix of spite, rivalry and under world griefing is keeping him relatively clean. 
This weird set up is also helping the PSDF Intel department to get good at what they do without becoming corrupt themselves. Every time corruption threatens one of the PMs advisors screws it up. 
Starfleet Intelligence is developing their own sources both in the underworld and on the PSDF, but is pretty intent on staying out of the power struggles. If they can arrange a good shot at a gang leader or organized crime head, they'll take it.  Otherwise they want to stay out of the complex relationships, loyalties and betrayals of the Pytol underworld.  that way lies insanity.
Bog-kak Lan-a-trop-ionA Former Lefyt Warrior.  He and his crew turned to smuggling and the black market during the occupation and learned the art of the underworld early and well. 
He and his guys masquerade as a sort of VFW hall on their home island, But in reality they run the place with an Iron fist. 
They have caches of old weapons and vehicles they use for operations.
Lan-a-trop-ion has an old blaster. It's for one-shotting Damyip kill bots, so when he shoots a meat person with it, they explode messily. 
Lan-a-trop-ion and his boys support a local policce force that, except for completely looking the other way for Lan-a-trop-ions operations is pretty competent.  Lan wants his home base orderly and clean.  He hates the Damyip and refuses to have anything to do with them.  Unbeknowst to Lan-a-tro-ion his lover and right hand woman is an infiltrator-bot. 
Damyip 14.1.6 Is frightened to do too much with what it learns from her for fear of blowing her cover.
