History & Background (Dossier)

Aerrkhukhkaekouguengdoung-1 is a small ocean-dominated world. The surface is covered by vast equatorial seas and storm-wracked archipelagos, with less than 10% dry landmass. The breathable but tainted atmosphere requires filter masks outdoors due to persistent airborne irritants and trace toxins.

The world's population of roughly 7 million lives in a mix of domed cities, floating platforms, and arcologies clustered on the few stable landmasses. Many settlements are corporate-owned or directly managed by Imperial or Gzogzu contract administrators.

Tensions simmer beneath the surface. While the population enjoys TL–9 comforts, many chafe under foreign control and trade exploitation. A local underground resistance may be active.

World Starport (Sp)

Aerrkhukhkaekouguengdoung 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.
• Traffic through the port consists of regular tramp freighter runs and scout patrols.

World Population (P)

Aerrkhukhkaekouguengdoung has a population of 7,000,000 sophonts (millions).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• The population almost entirely consists of Vargr.
