Mainworld Data[edit]
Mikakesh would ordinarily have been something of a backwater with its airless, waterless wastes. Rocky outcrops of its surface poke through ancient layers of dust that range from several tens of meters in some places to a few inches in others.
The world was rescued from obscurity by the discovery of tiny gem-like particle sparsely spread through the surface dust. The inhabitants are engaged in the time-consuming filtering process to recover these particles. The end product is used widely, and sold under a variety of names, and generally known as "star dust".
History and Background[edit]
The population of Mikakesh are almost all descended from the original colonists arriving from Jarsae (Dagudashaag 2803). Originally from the country of Karnasta, they were migrants of the Shampka religion who felt compelled to leave their homes due government restrictions. Many of them maintained ties to their home world and are still ruled by the government of Karnasta.
All of the inhabitants live in some 10,000 colects scattered across the surface. The Colects have little physical contact with each other except on holidays, but communications are very common.
World Culture[edit]
Mikakesh is a stronghold of the Shampka religion.
