System Data

Lurent planetoid ships may be found in the inner system, trading or in the system’s Oort clouds refuelling.

Mainworld Data

Atsah is a temperate world, with low gravity and native flora and fauna.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

The downport is expensively designed to look rustic. Walls are simulated mud-brick. Aekhu-Vargr ceremonial artefacts are on display in various starport museum nooks. The hiring hall looks as though it was originally a slave auction block. However, even that is a design element, calculated for effect.

Native Lifeforms

The Fauna of the world is Vargr-Edible.

World Government

Atsah is part of the Atsah Cultural Region, and its population is 80% Vargr, with most of the rest being humans. Atsah has a long history as a significant Vargr world. The Atsak Federation, a small Vargr interstellar polity, was centered on Atsah, originally known as Khotsaka.

The capital of the subsector and the Duchy seat, the world’s number one employer is the subsector government. Every one of the 70 million inhabitants is part of the government. The world is a great producer of that unusual commodity of civilisation: red tape.

Historical Data

Hard Times

Atsah formerly had been the capital of Atsah Subsector under Imperial administration. The world was an important trade and manufacturing center, and boasted of a high standard of living. Its prosperity became a casualty of the Vargr invasion of Corridor, which severed its trade links, and of Vargr raiding in the 1120s. The world was ceded by the Domain of Deneb, and it became a part of the DMZ created in Atsah with the Dzarrgh Federate. Atsah's population has always been fascinated with politics, particularly political intrigue.

Abandonment

In the wake of its double Abandonment, first to the Vargr, and then Virus, its political elites have become masters of survival.

The world splintered into several factions after the Collapse, generally city-states separated by vast regions of wilderness. Trade caravans of trucks and huge land trains connect these polities, bringing much needed goods and commodities. The masters of these caravans are the primary rulers of each city-state, and the economic struggles usually form the basis of all politics on the world. While the world is nominally balkanized, the worlds rulers usually meet every two years at the former capitol city of Melva to elect one of their number as the world's main ruler. This process is accompanied by much political jockeying, and sometimes sporadic skirmishing and strongarm politics. The social system is divided into extended family/clan systems that dominate entire neighborhoods. Trade and politics are the two most esteemed professions, every other worker on the world is subordinated to the clans that control these arenas. Intrigue permeates every corner of the world, and the average citizen keeps careful track of their relative status and safety in all social contexts.
