Kach'k is a nonindustrial, pre-rich water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.
- 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.
- It still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
- Its economy is growing and living conditions are expected to rise in the near future barring outside forces.
- It is a member of the Sath Alliance in the Sath Subsector of Far Home Sector.
- This world is a colony of Ch'kaahi
- Warning: humans are not welcome within the Sath Alliance. Those few humans that venture into its territory are generally met with a hostile reception and are closely monitored at all times.

System Data
Sch'ka-Kach'k System
The primary is Sch'ka, an ordinary white main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 5.34 Sols, a mass of 1.46 Sols, and a diameter of 2.115 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a trace atmosphere worldlet, (III) a exotic atmosphere stormworld, (IV) a dense stony planetoid belt, and (V) Kach'k, designated the mainworld. (VI) a thin atmosphere hospitable world orbits within the habitable zone. (VII) a thin atmosphere hospitable world, (VIII) a vacuum iceworld, (IX) a sparse rocky planetoid belt, (X) a ringed large gas giant, (XI) a small gas giant, and (XII) a sparse icy planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data
(V) Kach'k
(V) Kach'k is designated the mainworld. It orbits Sch'ka at a mean distance of 1.53 AU (228.9 million km), within the H– region of the inner system. It has an orbital period of 1 year 207 days and a rotation period of 49 hours. The axial tilt is 23 degrees. Kach'k has a diameter of 14,112 km, a density of 5.13 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.03 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Dense, with a mean surface pressure of 2.21 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 99.9% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 1.1m. Mean surface temperature: 11°C. The atmosphere is extremely active and violent weather systems driven by the star and the oceans sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal.
Mainworld geography and topography
Total surface area: 626 million km², Water surface area: 625.4 million km², Land surface area: 600,000 km².
Native lifeforms
Kach'k has extensive, abundant native life, with organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
History & Background (Dossier)
This system is controlled by the Shikh'aa Faction of the Sath Alliance.
World starport
Kach'k has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Kach'k possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
- Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
- Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
- Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
World government
Kach'k has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. A colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.
