History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
A member of the Hhkar Sphere, though retaining (or hosting) a Vargr population also.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Gaaabrk has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
Population[edit]
40,000, 50 % Hhkar, 50% Vargr.
World Culture[edit]
Hhkar society is centered on the ssaaahk, a group of Hhkar with common physical characteristics. Every Hhkar places the needs of his ssaaahk above his own, and obeys without question the orders from the ssaaahk patriarch. Conflict between groups is common, but the interstellar Hhkar government imposes rules and limits on such feuding.
The dominant language is Hhraki, also known as Hhkarn to humans.
Trade[edit]
Some of the best meat products available in the Julian Protectorate come from ranches on Hhkar worlds like this. Hhkar also own large plantations for growing their smoking plants; they additionally grow tobacco and related plants for trade with Humans and Vargr.
World Timeline[edit]
Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:
- -50,000: For reasons unknown, the Hhkar leave their homeworld using ramscoop-equipped vessels and colonize Skkyhrk (which will be known to Vargr as Urinir) and other nearby planets.
- -10,000: Again for unknown reasons, Hhkar migrate away from Skkyhrk.
- -222: The Hhkar return to the region in a great migration, attacking the Vargr society present on Urinir.
- Over the next 500 years, the Hhkar expand their sphere of occupied worlds.
- (175 to 191): Julian War; the region unites to fight off the Third Imperium as it attempts to incorporate Amdukan, Mendan and Meshan sectors by force.
- 377: Commodore David Lindquist of the Julian Protectorate Star Legion almost defeats a Hhkar force at Kargar. The Hhkar are so impressed by Lindquist's tenacity and cleverness that he is given an honorable execution, and the Hhkar withdraw from the system in spite of their victory.
- Early 600s: After centuries of increasingly common peaceful (if wary) interaction, the Hhkar Sphere joins the Julian Protectorate.
