History and Background[edit]

Although changed considerably with the passage of time, the rigid hereditary caste system that segregates the population of Irash was born of a fusion of Vilani and Hindu cultures, reflecting the disparate heritages of the first settlers to this large world.

  • Caste in Irashi culture follows Vilani practice, not Solomani: so it is chosen by the community when you come of age, and is not inherited.
  • Irash boasts some of the most impressive temples still standing in the Empty Quarter sector from the era of the Second Imperium.
  • Irash is an interesting case. Not so much for her large (but poor) population, as much as for her devotion to Hinduism - especially to vegetarianism and to Mother Cow, as devout Hindus demand. Certain influential advisors from the Two Thousand Worlds have heard of this sensible Solomani religion, and K’kree traders bearing gifts eventually arrived in orbit over Irash. The religious and feudal lords of Irash signed a friendship and trade treaty with the distant Two Thousand Worlds, opening the door to a flood of K’kree goods and assistance, at remarkably low prices.

Timeline[edit]

  • Imperial diplomats contact Irash in 62 Imperial. Irash joins the Imperium.
  • Irash and Yashodhan (Empty Quarter 2635) establish solid trade links during the pre-Dawn era (-200s Imperial).
  • The Psionics Institute on Irash is destroyed in 822. Over 24.2 million die in this part of the Psionics Suppressions alone.
  • Roughly 60 million Irashi move to Hebrin (Empty Quarter 1930) near the turn of the 10th Imperial century, with the financial and legal encouragement of the Imperium.
  • Although the system is never seriously threatened by Abadani communism, many of the most famous interstellar Abadani intellectuals and activists come from this world.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]

Irash, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

World Starport[edit]

Irash has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Languages Spoken[edit]

  • Irashi Hindi. This is the native language of Irash. It is NOT actually a form of Hindi: the misnomer comes from an ignorant tendency to put every East Indian language into the ‘Hindi’ box. In reality, it is a mix of the Oriya language and Old High Vilani, with a bit of Old Anglic seasoning.
  • Iabag: A minor language of Irash, of perhaps 20 million speakers.
