Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

This world's harsh law and incomprehensibly abstract culture have led to a general Amber Zone classification, even beyond the general caution recommended to Imperial travellers in the Vargr Extents. The natives are nonetheless friendly -- so long as none of their myriad, bizarre legal codes are violated.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Gkakhaellan 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.

  • Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)[edit]

Gkakhaellan has a population of 30,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Gkakhaellan possesses a Technology Level of TL–14 or TL-E in Hexadecimal Notation.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early meson communicators.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, early collectors, and advanced fusion plants.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:

World Government (G)[edit]

Gkakhaellan is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

World Military[edit]

As a member of the Pact of Gaerr, this world deploys at least 20% of its military to the combined taskforce based on Roedz.

World Law (L)[edit]

Gkakhaellan has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). All aspects of life rigidly controlled with disproportionate punishments for even minor legal infractions.There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.
