Alaga is a rich, pre-agricultural world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in size.

• The world's agricultural industry is growing and some economists forecast an explosion in this world's agribusiness in the near future as new agro-technology and a more capable labor force are imported.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• This world has high-grade living conditions with a good climate and a non-harmful environment. As such, this world is much sought after with large queues for immigration here.
• It is a member of the Hegemony of Lorean in the Five Systems Subsector of Star's End Sector.

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)

Alaga has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.

World Population (P)

Alaga has a population of 900,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

World Demographics

• Arzula Humaniti, 70%
  • The Arzula are dominantly Vilani in ancestry, with strong 'minor notes' of Solomani Slavic and Arabic heritages.
• Vargr, 30%
  • Suedzuk Vargr and Irilitok Vargr

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are the most commonly used here:

• Julian Anglic: A common variant of Anglic in the sector, and an official language of the Julian Protectorate.
• Arzulan: A series of largely related languages granted state recognition by the Lorean Hegemony.
  • 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.
  • Tenirruet: A widespread Irilitok trade language within the Hegemony of Lorean
• Suedzuk: The varied languages of the often paranoid Suedzuk Vargr.
  • Evrgoer: The most common Suedzuk dialect within modern Lorean space.

World Technology Level (T)

Alaga possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.

  • 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.
