Hrnabroo is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and nonindustrial in nature.
- These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
- Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
- The worldlets require extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- It is a member of the Hhkar Sphere in the Hikaru Subsector of Amdukan Sector.
- This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it dangerous to visitors.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
This world is part of the Urinir Cluster.
Stellar Data[edit]
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
A member of the Hhkar Sphere, but retaining a Vargr population as well.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Hrnabroo has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World Population (P)[edit]
Hrnabroo has a population of 500,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).
- This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
- The population is around 70% Hhkar, 30% Vargr.
World Culture[edit]
Hhkar society is centered on the ssaaahk, a group of Hhkar with common physical characteristics. Every Hhkar places the needs of his ssaaahk above his own, and obeys without question the orders from the ssaaahk patriarch. Conflict between groups is common, but the interstellar Hhkar government imposes rules and limits on such feuding.
The dominant language is Hhraki, also known as Hhkarn to humans.
World Timeline[edit]
Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:
- -50,000: For reasons unknown, the Hhkar leave their homeworld using ramscoop-equipped vessels and colonize Skkyhrk (which will be known to Vargr as Urinir) and other nearby planets.
- -10,000: Again for unknown reasons, Hhkar migrate away from Skkyhrk.
- -222: The Hhkar return to the region in a great migration, attacking the Vargr society present on Urinir.
- Over the next 500 years, the Hhkar expand their sphere of occupied worlds.
- (175 to 191): Julian War; the region unites to fight off the Third Imperium as it attempts to incorporate Amdukan, Mendan and Meshan sectors by force.
- 377: Commodore David Lindquist of the Julian Protectorate Star Legion almost defeats a Hhkar force at Kargar. The Hhkar are so impressed by Lindquist's tenacity and cleverness that he is given an honorable execution, and the Hhkar withdraw from the system in spite of their victory.
- Early 600s: After centuries of increasingly common peaceful (if wary) interaction, the Hhkar Sphere joins the Julian Protectorate.
