History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
This was one of the "Wayward Worlds", members of the Sylean Federation who chose to reject the offer of membership in the Third Imperium. Cleon Zhunastu accepted their decision, but as the Imperium grew, the Wayward Worlds became increasingly isolated and were forced to accept Imperial membership. Many of the Wayward Worlds retained their original names for many years before being renamed one-by-one in an attempt to shed the burden of their "traitorous" past. Irurk became Ankod.
The Imperial Navy base at Ankod has a partnership with universities on neighbouring Knabbib to develop security technology that provides a protective cordon for Capital and the subsector at large.

World Government[edit]
Ankod is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
