Tktk is a poor, nonindustrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Dpres Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.
  • About 60% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.
  • About 40% of the population is composed of Chirpers.

Native Sophont: Tktk[edit]

Most observers consider the natives of Tktk to be a subspecies of Chirper, though the lack of an Ancients site here has made the research community reluctant to confirm this. Tktks have adaptations to the thin tainted atmosphere of their world, possessing larger lungs than other Chirpers, a broader chest cavity, and more extensive blood vessels. They are also more linguistically sophisticated than most Chirpers, and have a robust storytelling culture and mythology.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Tktk is a poor, non-aligned hellworld on the Sindalian Main in Dpres Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

  • The world is shared between human colonists and a native non-human species, also called the Tktk, which resembles Chirpers.
  • The IISS is considering declaring the world a Red zone to safeguard the primitives’ culture.
