History and background

A poor, non-agricultural, lightly industrial hell world located in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector.

Imperial High Nobility

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

World Starport

Zukalis 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.

  • Naasirka maintains a private class A port for use by its own fleet of courier ships, a larger, but still private class B port for use by other companies. There is a small public class C port, with an isolated, and fully enclosed star town on the surface to house visitors and relatives.
  • Medurma Main StarLines maintains its own class A port.

World Technology Level

Zukalis possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government

Zukalis is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Military

This world has no significant offworld military presence although local nobility has talked about locating an Imperial base here.

World Economy

Zukalis, a moon of the gas giant Khalis, was originally a mining colony established by Interstellar Petrochemical Processing. After fifty years of exploitation, the mines were closed down.

Vilani megacorporation Zirunkariish holds a substantial, but minority, stake in the Naasirka-Mehdaat Insurance Consortium. In addition, Zirunkariish has substantial offices of its own, including a major trading clearinghouse, on Zukalis.

World Demographics

Most of the population are employed either by Naasirka or its many competitors, and the employee settlements are considered completely off limits. This is a security measure.

World Culture

No information yet available.

Urbanization

The world is increasingly being urbanized with a number of movements protesting this trend, and pushing for a return to the small town and increased environmentalism.

Historical Data

In 866, IPP transferred ownership of the moon to Naasirka on the understanding the new owner would build a public Class C starport, as required by under IPP original charter. Instead Naasirka immediately began work converting the deep mines into a substantial settlement. Naasirka then transferred the head offices of its entire sector wide financial and insurance services to Zukalis. The worlds primary function is to house the administration center for the Naasirka-Mehdaat Insurance Consortium, the largest insurance underwriters in the sector and the sector registry of shipping, and the central clearing house for Banque de Dagudashaag. Due to the sector wide importance of the two companies, every other major insurance and banking institution in the sector has found it necessary to also set up offices.
