Ishkaa has both an unbreathably thin atmosphere and a lack of surface water making habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. The governance of this world is from Ninlakim (Dagudashaag 2208). It is a member of Third Imperium in the Arnakhish Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Ishkaa, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world. During the Long Night this world was named Dind.

History and Background[edit]

The government of Ishkaa are trying desperately to expand the economic base of the planet since they believe that the current single cash crop economy is asking for trouble in the future. They are running into problems with both the producers of Pulmn and the traders who export it, since both are making a great deal of money out of the monopoly and do not wish the situation to change.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Ishkaa 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 Culture[edit]

The culture is recognizably Vilani.
