History and background

The barren world of Lemkhi is more than just a research base, it houses Lemkhi Imperial university of space sciences, dedicated to the study of space sciences.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Lemkhi, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Nobility overseeing the world.

World Starport

Lemkhi 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.

  • The university maintains a class B starport, mainly for the use of transporting researchers and supplies. All profits from the spaceport duties are fed back to the university for research grant funding.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.

World Government

Lemkhi is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

World Law Level

Because of the wide variety of scientific devices in the surrounding space and the need to prevent disruption of observations and measurements, the space lanes around Lemkhi are very strict. Ships failing to follow instructions may suffer exceptionally heavy fines or be impounded. The Amber Zone for the system comes from the University's strict and aggressive enforcement policies.
