Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

  • Various local languages may be heard, but have no support from the Lorean government.
• Irilitok: The language family of the most populous Vargr phenotype and ethnic culture within the Julian Protectorate.
  • Intiek: An Irilitok dialect.
  • Tenirruet: A widespread Irilitok trade language within the Hegemony of Lorean.

World Government (G)

Aerafa is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés. The justifications for the original change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

World Law Level (L)

Aerafa has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).

World Culture

• Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of
  • A Vilani conformity and caution,
  • A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
  • A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.

World Timeline

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

• 359-375: War of Man, as Humans rebel against repressive Vargr rule in coreward Empty Quarter Sector.
• 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
• 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
  • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
• 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
  • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
• 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
• 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
  • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
• 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
• 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
• 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
