Thukhsknedh is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • This world has few prospects for economic expansion and life is very bleak and trying here.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
  • It is a member of the Vargr Extents in the Raelas Subsector of Knoellighz Sector.
  • This world-system was once incorrectly marked on star charts as Zalgvadzokh.

History & Background (Dossier)

Thukhsknedh (Knoellighz 1736) D373000-0 Ba Lt of the Ascendancy Pact in Raelas Subsector was at first intended to be a local, starship services depot on a wing of the so-called Bridge of Destiny. With its lower surface gravity and an atmosphere merely requiring a filtration mask or better, this mainworld’s D-rated Downport was meant to be a service station for ships in need of repairs and the like before refueling at the local Gas Giant. However two deterrents halted further development of the waystation. The funding for Thukhsknedh in the Pact was re-routed to Aus (Knoellighz 1635) by the Representatives in a back-scratching politics maneuver. The second setback was an unforeseen, slow-acting contaminant found on the surface of the planet. The compound was found to be a carcinogen, causing lung cancer that was airborne and picked up easily by ground crews making use of the Downport. After being shut down, the facilities were declared too dangerous to staff. Visitors may still use the facility, but must then use biohazard showers and cleansing agents nearby before boarding for departure. Similarly, there is no Trade to be found here as better routes are found in adjacent worlds.
