Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Aegadh was the capital of the old Khouktae Empire before it was absorbed into the Gvurrdon Pact, which in turn collapsed around –2300. For over 3,000 years, the leadership on Aegadh frequently changed, until the Church of the Chosen Ones founded a community here in 986 and swiftly took control of the planet. The Church has remained the ruling power despite numerous attempts by other factions to push them out.
The planetary government does not levy any taxes, but does collect regular tithes from Church faithful and any other residents of the system.
The Church does not tolerate any activities of which it doesn't approve. Police supervision of the populace is almost constant, and infractions are dealt with severely. Fortunately, there are few things which can be said to be "anti-Church", so the population does enjoy a relatively high freedom, notwithstanding the continual intrusion of police into private affairs.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Aegadh 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.
- Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.
World Population (P)[edit]
Aegadh has a population of 90,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
- The population consists almost entirely of Vargr.
- These are mostly Gvegh Vargr.
World Languages[edit]
- Gvegh: Multiple dialects.
The world name "Aegadh" is Arrghoun for "a light in the dark". Arrghoun is a predecessor language to Gvegh.
Urbanization[edit]
The capital is Errgkhourrraegh, which is home to the Museum of the Supremacy of Vargr Culture. The museum illustrates the history of the Church of the Chosen Ones and the Vargr race (as perceived by the Church).
Vargr cities are lively and chaotic, full of garish colours and loud noises. Streets are packed and buildings press together. Vehicle traffic is fast and chaotic; the accident rate is low only because of superior Vargr reflexes. Zoning codes are rare, and districts jumble together.
World Law[edit]
The government is funded by collecting regular tithes from the Church's faithful followers and residents, so there are no taxes on Aegadh. This is very appealing to many who live here but those who do not follow the faith simply see the tithe as another form of tax.
World Economy[edit]
The Society of Equals is primarily built on free trade between member worlds, which are encouraged to foster trade relations with one another. With the exception of locally determined contraband, embargos between member worlds are forbidden. Refusing trade of legal goods from another member imposes fines.
A branch of the Rroelokdizoks Assurance bank is located here.
