History & Background (Dossier)

Cigawan is the only system within the Yeskoth Corporate that Third Imperium ships other than merchants for trade are allowed to enter. The Yeskoth have grudgingly permitted a small Imperial Scout base to be established here for the purpose of monitoring the K'Kree.

World Starport

Cigawan has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• There is an associated Naval Base.
• There is a central starport authority controlling class A and B ports within the Yeskoth Corporate.

World Technology Level

Cigawan 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

Cigawan has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

This world is part of the Yeskoth Corporate.

The central government of the Yeskoth Corporate takes a very light hand in controlling local politics. However, the Yeskoth central government places large numbers of robots and installs AI systems on all worlds within the Corporate to monitor local activity and ensure loyalty. Having to interface with robots and AI is a common way of life on any Yeskoth Corporate world.

World Timeline

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

• Circa -2130: The worlds that will become the Corona Regnum are settled as a Terran cultural region. These Corona Arc colonies make contact with local Minor Races and, in time, the Hivers.
  • Around the same time, the Vilani of the Lishun Suugugki subculture enter the region.
• -2038: Several Hiver-inhabited worlds in Numbis are occupied by the K'kree, who begin exterminating local carnivore populations.
• -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War threatens the Hiver community.
  • Reactions among the Terran colonies are mixed.
• (-1776 to 0): The Long Night.
• Circa -1550: A reportedly zealous response to K'kree probes leads to the first declared Corona Regnum, as the systems of the Corona unite to stand against the larger threat.
  • The Regnum lasts roughly two centuries before collapsing in on itself.
  • The Gold Union forms at some unknown point on the Numbis-Crucis Margin border. It will in time apparently become the Amalgamation Union.
• -740: New Human states in Numbis began to expand and conquer, causing the Corona Regnum to reform as a defensive act.
• -710: Having repulsed attempts on its territory, the Corona Regnum begins conquering systems outside of the traditional Corona.
• -510: The second Regnum collapses, again under its own weight.
• The Year 0: Far to spinward, the Third Imperium is founded.
• 224: A brief Third Corona Regnum is declared, but doesn't survive the death in fleet battle of its founder eight years later.
• 300-420: The Imperial First Survey.
  • Some ships of the Survey go missing in the region. Fragmentary reports suggest that the Amalgamation ("Gold") Union is destabilizing.
• 890: The Yeskoth Corporate begins formation around Edienta and Coreeedo.
• 995 to 1065: The Imperial Second Survey.
  • There is no sign of the Amalgamation Union, aside from common architectural themes in old capital buildings and monuments.
