Mainworld Conditions

Hkesuh is hot and almost entirely dry, with 99% of the planet’s water either underground in vast aquifers or locked in the colonies of Hkesuhoates, single-cell organisms that make up the entirety of the planet’s native biosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

Hkesuh is an arid hellworld. It is ruled by the Taukhaotuar Clan, who have adapted well to their adopted desert homeworld. They are nomadic, traversing the desert on motorized caravans and sailing on sandships.

World Starport (St)

Hkesuh 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 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.

World Culture

The Taukhaotuar clan practice an extreme form of ancestor worship: the ruling caste are clones of past male heroes and ancestors.
