Amdukan Sector has been a battleground between competing Vargr and Human civilizations like much of the Vargr Extents.

Meta-History & Background: 2019-0630[edit]

Amdukan Sector was originally designed by Michael R. Mikesh.

  1. In 1984, K'kree (Alien Module) was published.
  2. In 1984, Vargr (Alien Module) was published.
  3. In 1990, Alien - Vilani & Vargr was published.
  4. In 1991, Challenge 52 was published.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

This sector is an ancient one; many of the Vargr colonies here appear to predate interstellar spaceflight on Lair. Many suppose that the Ancients may have been involved. The Hhkar, another ancient civilization, also appear to have had a long history in the area.

Amdukan is the heart of the Julian Protectorate. Once a part of the Ziru Sirka, the First Imperium, the region was never incorporated into the Third Imperium, but it wasn't for lack of trying. The local cultures, rallied by the Menderes family of corporate fame, fought off the Imperium and formed their own interstellar state -- if "state" is the right word for a coalition as loose as the Julian Protectorate. Multiple nations, both single-world and interstellar; typically lively Vargr charisma-driven politics; a history of slavery and race wars; and the task of integrating orderly Vilani cultures with their Vargr antithesis: the fact that the Protectorate has endured, ever-shifting but strong, is quite incredible given what it's been up against. Amdukan Sector in particular also had to contend, at various points, with the hostility of both the returning Hhkar and the expansionist Lorean Hegemony -- and yet managed not only to endure both, but build bridges and bring these polities into the Protectorate.

Imperial observers may be baffled, but somehow the Julians make it work.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Like so much of the Vargr Extents, the history of Amdukan is one of perpetual conflict amongst the Vargr, themselves, and practically every one else. The Hhkar have been a major influence in the area for a number of millennia as well. Hhkar history mirrors that of the Vargr, internecine civil wars and major societal disruption. One of the many mysteries of the region is the anomalous relationship between the Hhkar and the Droyne. Clearly the two species know of each other, but neither is divulging secrets.

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1116[edit]

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this sector:

  • -50,000: For reasons unknown, the Hhkar leave their homeworld using ramscoop-equipped vessels and colonize Skkyhrk (which will be known to Vargr as Urinir) and other nearby planets.
  • -10,000: Again for unknown reasons, Hhkar migrate away from Skkyhrk.
  • -2235 to -2219: A family of Solomani traders, the Menderes, establish lucrative trade routes along the Mendan Main.
  • -321: Karik Menderes of Menderes Corporation raises all Menderes Vargr to the status of employees.
    • This starts a movement that makes slavery illegal on Asimikigir by -302.
  • -275: Tran Menderes breaks precedent by accepting a Vargr offer to carry Menderes goods off planet. Until now, Kudukara Lines, the principle transport line of the Second Empire of Gashikan, has carried all goods for the region.
  • -222: The Hhkar return to the region in a great migration, attacking the Vargr society present on Urinir.
    • Over the next 500 years, the Hhkar expand their sphere of occupied worlds.
  • (175 to 191): Julian War; the region unites to fight off the Third Imperium as it attempts to incorporate Amdukan, Mendan and Meshan sectors by force.
  • 377: Commodore David Lindquist of the Julian Protectorate Star Legion almost defeats a Hhkar force at Kargar. The Hhkar are so impressed by Lindquist's tenacity and cleverness that he is given an honorable execution, and the Hhkar withdraw from the system in spite of their victory.
  • Early 600s: After centuries of increasingly common peaceful (if wary) interaction, the Hhkar Sphere joins the Julian Protectorate.
  • 864: The 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, in Arzul Sector to trailing.
    • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
  • 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.

Politics & Diplomacy (Interstellar Relations)[edit]

Between the many quarreling factions of the Vargr Extents, intrapolitical conflict has been the norm. It is the hope of many that the Julian Protectorate will help to unify the region and bring about a lasting peace, the fabled Pax Vargrisia.
