Kikaduum 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.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ushra Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • During the Long Night this world was named Khuuruum Ki.

Description

Kikaduum is famed for its gas trade. Large underground caverns are filled with a multitude of exotic gases found naturally nowhere else Unfortunately this has meant that the surface of the planet can be extremely volatile and sudden and violent explosions the norm.

History & Background (Dossier)

Due to the rampant explosions on the planet's surface, the colonists must live on a gigantic sky-city held aloft by grav generators.

  • Mining is also done by means of grav-powered platforms which float above the sites extracting and refining the gases.
