History and Background

Although too dry to serve as the home for Bwap crèches, nonetheless they would find themselves at home in the relatively restrictive nature of Gingesh’s overly-bureaucratic government. Originally settled as a colony world during the First Imperium, the various departments of the original colonial corporation survive to today in the form of independent agencies that provide civil service to the general population of Gingesh. The Board President, appointed by joint committee after a quite exhaustive and grueling interview process, speaks publicly for the Board of Directors, but the true political power lies in the hands of the Agency Managers that lead each agency.

As part of the Sashar-Pamushgar Cluster, Gingesh was strongly affected by Abadani, an interstellar anti-Noble communist movement. Its influence has faded substantially since the 950s, but some of the symbols, ways of thought, and old slogans are still part of everyday life.
