Akingip is a poor, low-population hellworld with a population less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• It is a member of the Hegemony of Lorean in the Five Systems Subsector of Star's End Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

History & Background (Dossier)

All five systems in the eponymous subsector are claimed by the Hegemony of Lorean. These worlds form their own quiet sub-cultural region within the Hegemony, undisturbed by outsiders due to the rift at their trailing-rimward flank.

World Starport (St)

Akingip has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

• The system features a Lorean Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Akingip has a population of 1,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

World Demographics

• Arzula Humaniti
  • The Arzula are dominantly Vilani in ancestry, with strong 'minor notes' of Solomani Slavic and Arabic heritages.

World Languages

• Arzulan

World Technology Level (T)

Akingip possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government (G)

Akingip is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

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:

• 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.
