• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial baron.

History-Era: Rebellion

During the rebellion the existing class C starport became closed because of lacking maintenance, and tech level dropped to 9 before virus arrived. The participating democracy collapsed and the people started to work together in smaller groups, in an anarchy like system.

The FDR used Gakhamesh between 1143 and 1170 as a primary target for citizen relocations from worlds where life for the meat was not so easy. Gakhamesh managed well to integrate those unrooted people, and received a TL–C class A starport in 1172, a subsidiary from Usdiki. The economy upgraded back to dynamic systems, and Gakhamesh is now one of the most important human populated worlds in the FDR.
