History & Background / Dossier

During the Long Night, the Luriani Protectorate established a major shipbuilding facility at Gishuumka. This facility was destroyed in -1252 in a surprise attack by the L'Polan Empire, a small polity at odds with the Protectorate. The resulting war was noted for its ferocity, and ended with a pyrrhic Luriani victory as the Empire collapsed. The L'Polan disintegrated into a number of tiny, exhausted successor states.

Imperial High / Landed Nobility

Gishuumka, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.

World Starport

Gishuumka 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.

World Demographics

Of its 90,000,000 people, 90% are Luriani.

A significant minority of the cultural Luriani population are biological Solomani or Vilani. The Solomani, known as Veresti Dtareen (Terran Defenders) descend from Terran soldiers and administrators of the Rule of Man stranded during the Long Night, while the Vilani are known as Mmarislusant (Victims of History), and descend from stranded Vilani colonists. Both groups have absorbed much of Luriani culture and are seen both by themselves and the natives as being genuine Luriani.

World Languages

• Aaca
• Anglic
• Vilani

Aaca is short-form for Aaeebuany't' limmisdasca.

Verasti Dtareen speak a variant of Anglic known as Luriani Anglic or "Lurglic", while the Mmarislusant retain their language of Old High Vilani. The Luriani Cultural Association expends considerable effort to ensure that all three languages remain in use.

World Law (L)

Gishuumka has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

• Luriani like their police close to the communities they serve, and there is normally at least one community verasrasti (constable) per 800 individuals. They are expected to be familiar with the people they police.
• In addition to the normal law enforcement services, the Iadtlu militia is available to deal with emergencies in the case of either serious unrest or disaster.
• Justice and punishment are handled by trained arbiters, using an inquisitorial legal system. Both prosecution and defence are normally handled by state-employed advocates.
• The Luriani do not use capital punishment, nor can the Imperium apply the death penalty on a Luriani world for crimes against Imperial justice.
