Hkakh is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.

• This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, as a single multiple-world clan dominate, in the Ranib Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Fiyatrusha Pride of Clan Arhiyao, born of a political marriage between elements of the Ahriyao pride and the Tru'shan clan, have their htahyu (stronghold) on a habitat in orbit of Hkakh.

Hkakh is the economic engine of the Arhiyao clan. It is, unfortunately, a hellish place to live -- the major cities are all under domes of packed ice and most homes are in old mining tunnels. The Aslan of Hkakh are miserable, denied the wide open spaces and hunting grounds that their species yearns for.

World Starport (Sp)

Hkakh has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Languages

• Trokh: The universal language of the modern Aslan monoculture.
  • Aslan Languages: Note that some Aslan clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.
