History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Ikakaddu 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Ikakaddu has a population of 1,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Demographics

• Arzula Humaniti
  • The Arzula are dominantly Vilani in ancestry, with strong 'minor notes' of Solomani Slavic and Arabic heritages.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are the most commonly used here:

• Arzulan: A series of largely related languages granted state recognition by the Lorean Hegemony.
  • Various local languages may be heard, but have no support from the Lorean government.
• Irilitok: The language family of the most populous Vargr phenotype and ethnic culture within the Julian Protectorate.
  • Tenirruet: A widespread Irilitok trade language within the Hegemony of Lorean.

World Technology Level (TL)

Ikakaddu possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

World Government (G)

Ikakaddu is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

World Military

No information yet available.

World Law Level (L)

Ikakaddu has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).

World Culture

• Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of
  • A Vilani conformity and caution,
  • A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
  • A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.

World Timeline

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

• 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
• 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
  • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
• 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
  • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
• 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
• 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
  • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
• 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
• 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
• 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
