OXPs

The Feudal States

Digebiti is a member of The Royal Houses of Santaari. The nobility of Digebiti is of English descent. (Feudal States OXP).

The knight on the charger is, of course, Sir Ffoliot Frederick Cary, the Right Honourable Viscount Falkland, the golden hues emphasising his nobility and honour (see below for his importance in the settling of the planet). The "true blue" background represents the loyalty and fealty to the planet.

MFD Broadcast Comms: Digebiti variant

For those with BroadcastComms MFD loaded, know that a Digebitian variant exists (if one can tweak and is in search of a more refined vocabulary and mode of expression for communicatory purposes). See here.
How to tweak OXZ's may prove helpful if you number yourself amongst the great untweaked.

Galactic Navy

This system falls under the responsibility of the Navy Command Station 5 in Encereso. (Galactic Navy OXP)

Fiction

The Supreme Ruler of Digebiti, Prince-Elector Rupert XIX, reigns over the system from the Cocktail Throne in the capital, Lesser Walsingham. He took the throne after the death of his older brother, Desmond, the then heir, during a game of Real Tennis. This unhappy event led to Rupert's eschewal of Tennis for Extreme Dominoes. Real Tennis had been brought to Digebiti by the Right Honourable Viscount Falkland's Generation ship which uniquely contained two Real Tennis Courts. Attempts to export Real Tennis equipment (the hand-crafted balls wrapped in tempered Seoid-skin, the angulated racquets) have been hampered by the lack of interest in other systems (possibly due to the extreme convulution of the rules and the vast expense involved in building Real Tennis courts: the colonnades and their roofing, the trenches, the golden bells...). The most prestigious court is that in the cloisters of the Cathedral in Greater Walsingham, lovingly instated there in the cloisters from Falkland's ship.

The most dignified of the Orders of Chivalry, and Digebiti's highest ranking honour is the Order of the Opulent Ooniverse. Admissions to the Order are few - it is limited to a mere dozen Grand Commanders (mostly Royals), a half-dozen Knight Commanders, 13 Knights, 248 Officers and 613 Members. The rank of Knight Commander has traditionally been reserved for the five Marcher Lords whose lands border the mountains and who must fend off the depredations of the Killer Mountain Seoids. The occasional vanquishers of Seoids in combat may also merit this honour.

The University of Old Salisbury is renowned for the long-standing debate between the department of the History of the Philosophy of History and the department for the Philosophy of the History of Philosophy - the growing heat of the debate has led to several duels over the past century, usually in hot-air balloons and featuring the famous duelling pistols rather than the blunderbusses which were used in antiquity. These heated debates pass by the subjects of the Supreme Ruler who are much more concerned with the rival claims of Afternoon Tea and High Tea to cultural supremacy.

Digebitian sculpture is justly renowned. Often using translucent greywacke carved from the mountain ranges bordering the Dismal Desert the sculptors have famously developed a traditional style which is oft-termed (Per-) Phidian. The most famous such is the Schemata of Noblesse Oblige, a rendering of the Feudal Principle using principles of numerological symbolism derived from Saint Phibo Nacci's majestic treatise on Theological Arithmetics. Placed above the cocktail throne in the capital, it inspires the gathered nobility with the representation of the source of their authority. Mention here should also be made of Arbuthnot of Digebiti, the renowned artist, whose works adorn a number of royal and noble manses across the systems of Santaari. He was fond of painting the heavens as seen from different locations. His masterpiece, the Maximal Occultation of the Ordinator of Octoid Reality, is displayed in the Fifth Apse of the Grand Cathedral of Digebiti, located in Greater Walsingham (some 300 miles from the capital). It shows Saint Giles slowly fading from immanence into transcendence. The Art Historians debate the precise location of the heavens therein depicted. The cathedral is also famous for the painting of the The Hounding of Ebortsa, displayed in the nave.

The Digebiti Debates: Metafiction: Dialogues on the Lore of Xlite

The dramatic date of the dialogue is set around 3150 CE, on the expansive polo fields of the Duchy of the Dark Desert of Digebiti, littered with broken sedan chairs, inter-city palanquins and a functioning cocktail bar. The chairmen have gone home. One lonely barman is waving his cocktail shaker lackadaisically over the till. It is early evening and the star of Lave has just risen over the horizon. Characters in the dialogue: User2357, a peripatetic pyrrhonist investigating the mysteries of meta-physics Cholmondeley of Digebiti, a strident sophist Disembodied, the learned savant, Supreme Exponent of the Serene Science of Handwavium Nite Owl, Lector of the Dark Arts for the Neophytes in the Outer Darkness Redspear, Master Artificier and Weaponsmith Sir Cody (Bart.) of El Viejo O.O.O.O. Stranger, Authoritative Adjustor of Galaxies and Master Economist, Rider on the Winds.

The Traders Almanach

If you can spend some cash, try this: Best would be to buy memory chips or hand-made Digebitian sculptures and move them to Geerra. I once sold 25 tons of the memory chips in Geerra, and reaped a profit of 560 Credits. On another thought, the memory chips can also be sold well enough in Anxebiza.
