History and Background[edit]

Irikrough is a rich garden world, once home to eighty-two million sentient beings in 993, and around seventy million in 1105. The planet maintains a strong position in the interstellar economy as a primary source of biopharmaceutical products in this quadrant of the Empty Quarter, including the limited processing of certain low-grade natural anagathics, and supports a lot of interstellar trade with other worlds that have greater medical needs. In recent years, a large minority of the local population has become vocal against the ecological impact that the biopharmaceutical industry has had on areas near urban communities, though there are conflicting reports as to the actual extent of the damage to the biosphere.

Irikrough is the widely beloved garden world of the Rukadukaz Republic. A vast number of important medicines and valuable salves are grown and prepared on this world, for shipment across the Republic, and throughout the Vargr Extents. However, the local sophonts see themselves as guardians of the forests and the seas first -- and they increasingly resent the damage done by the pharmaceutical companies. While not a Notable World, their voice is increasingly heard in the halls of power -- and, as their opponents are generally Vilani-culture corporations, those Vargr who resent Vilani corporate power are willing to listen... and act.

World Starport[edit]

Irikrough 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 Population (P)[edit]

Irikrough has a population of 70,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Demographics[edit]

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Irikrough possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Irikrough is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

World Law (L)[edit]

Irikrough has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Timeline[edit]

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within include the following:

  • -1711: Near the end of the Vargr Pillaging, the proto-Ovaghoun conquer the world of Ikon.
    • Over time, the local Vilani culturally overrun their Vargr overlords, reshaping the Ovaghoun Vargr into a distinct, almost hybridised culture.
  • -55: The Mmoannikh Accords between representatives of Logaksu Vargr and Ovaghoun Vargr societies ends a series of conflicts between the two cultures.
    • The Accords are rejected by the central Ikonaz government, leading to a shattering of the unity of the Ovaghoun.
  • 175-191: The Julian War, which sees numerous attacks on Ikon, all of which fail in breaking the homeworld of the Ovaghoun.
  • Circa 723: The Association of Good Wolves, the current government of Ikon, encourages the emigration of the working (i.e. Irilitok Vargr) classes to other, nearby worlds -- going so far as to subsidise 70% of the cost involved.
  • Circa 937-940: The Fellowship of Nobles, the current Ikonaz government, collapses.
  • 942: The Julian Protectorate and the Hegemony of Lorean formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Protectorate.
    • The Rukadukaz insist upon a 'buffer zone' of neutral systems between their territory and the Loreans.
