Chiauk is a poor, nonindustrial world.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- This world has few prospects for economic development.
- This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Mimu Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
Description (Planetology)
Chiauk’s arid surface is a true wonder when seen from space – its desert sands are streaked with a multitude of vivid colours as deposits of rare metal salts are eroded by the relentless winds. The origin of the tenuous oxygen atmosphere is a mystery, as no life has ever been detected on the world.

History & Background (Dossier)
The world’s sole starport and major population centre is built atop a mesa in the centre of the one of the few highly saline equatorial lakes. The complex of ground based and grav-supported buildings comprises the S'mrii ConSentiency PanPhylum Research Facility, a huge multidisciplinary science center conducting cutting-edge research into a wide range of endeavours. The infrastructure is devoted to serving S'mrii phylum researchers, but Human academics are able to use the facilities on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. The PPRF’s facilities for physical, biological and behavioural sciences are among the best in the entire Domain, and non-S’mrii researchers often have to wait years for the privilege of testing their theories in Chiauk’s laboratories.
Palaeotechnologists visiting Chiauk have a unique opportunity: in addition to the superior research facilities on planet, there is a significant Ancient site 500 kilometers north of the PPRF site.
The Pavement occupies almost 250 square kilometres of barren high desert. A field of ten-metre wide hexagonal columns laid out in precise interlocking geometrical pattern, the Pavement’s purpose is unknown. The passage between the columns once carried some kind of equipment, long since removed.
During the Long Night this world was named Ashuukhuugu.
