History & Background

Imperial Landed Nobility

Hike, 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.

Rebellion Era

Hike is one of the two major repair centers for local shipping (the other is Wake), particularly the starships that serve the Khavle Accordment. Some ships make the run up to the A-class starport at Medora, but most stay on the Khavle Main, which cuts through the heart of this subsector. Organized convoys will occasionally undertake the long journey to Delphi and Margaret's Safe, where the wonders of technology may be found and purchased, albeit at exorbiiant prices.

• Hike is attempting to put together enough financing to boost itself back up to TL 9. At its current tech level of 8, Hike's starport is hard pressed to function as a true B-class facility.
