Ik Oenguek is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants 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.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by Vargr sophonts located in the Aegaek Subsector of Tuglikki Sector.

• It orbits in the outer system.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• This world is directly administered by Allazkhor.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Ik Oenguek 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.

• The world is host to a Vargr Naval Base.
• 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)

Ik Oenguek has a population of 6,000,000 sophonts (millions).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

Ik Oenguek possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.

Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
