History & Background (Dossier)

Khedish is a world located in Suleiman Subsector of the Solomani Rim.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Khedish, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

Other Data

Khedish was settled by the Vilani during the First Imperium, and retains its Vilani cultural identity to this day.

As a result of the Solomani experience, the Khedishi are highly xenophobic.

  • Outsiders are in little physical danger, but unwary travellers will be swindled, cheated, robbed, and harassed by the hostile Khedishi.
  • Travellers are also advised that the Khedishi government, although required by Imperial law to give all Imperial citizens the same protection afforded Khedishi citizens, is strangely inefficient at investigating crimes against outsiders.
