History & Background (Dossier)

Caraz is a heavily industrialized, high-population ice-capped world located in the Pax Rulin Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

• The system is a member of the Imperium and the system contains a Naval Base.
• A new Class-A Starport is under construction.
• The system has been issued an Amber Zone travel advisory.

Caraz was originally built as a refueling station for the flood of Vilani ships fleeing the Vargr wars of the –2100s, and was the only Vilani colony in the subsector that survived while the others died out. The Caraz system had no Lanthanum reserves and could not build its own jump-capable ships.

• This forced the colonists to become exceedingly resourceful, precise, calculating, and efficient in order to exploit their resource-limited system.
• These traits are still deeply ingrained in the culture, even with membership in the Imperium and the recovery of jump drive.
• The rulers of Caraz are the all-powerful Actuaries who decide on the value of things.
