Jump map from Travellermap.com

Chulesh is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions make it dangerous to visitors.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Rure Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Usdiki (world).

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial baron.

History-Era: New Era

Chulesh was an Imperial waste basket, or more precisely, a so-called captive colony ruled by a small police force with high tech weapons from the TL–B downport. Virus arrived in late 1132 in the form of a modern puppeteer strain called Eshnir. Unlike stupid suiciders or doomslayers, Eshnir waited to reveal itself until he had infected the complete planetary network.

He contacted a group of prisoners, attacked the police force together with them and took control of the downport. Within a year the port was upgraded to class A, and he produced 2 vessels to expand to Munnarn. On Munnarn he couldn't get a stable foothold as the system had already collapsed to TL–5 from two prior infections.

Chulesh has seen about three dozen TEDs in the last 70 years. Each of them was a puppet of Eshnir, and was replaced by a new human puppet before becoming independent from Eshnir. Eshnir is a tricky politician. Most Chuleshi are not aware of him and think that Chulesh is leading the resistance movement against the FDR.

In 1199 he managed to upgrade to TL–C. Fortunately, the FDR had settled at this time, so he had no possibility to extend influence by infection. As he officially supports the FDR protocol of trade and is backed by his human population, the FDR has no legal way to disable him.

TRADE WARNING : Eshnir is based on dynamically linked systems at tech levels A-C. Chulesh is declared a Red Zone. The Gushemege Merchantile Guild advise a boycott of trade with this planet.
