History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

K'Mara 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

40,000,000, more than 95% Karhyri. Groups of visiting alien traders and tourists are commonly encountered.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

K'Mara possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

K'Mara is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.

Specifically, the Karhyri are ruled by a caste of "servants of honor", which functions as a group akin to priests and administrators. They have been codified by Imperial scholars as a civil service bureaucracy, but they are more complex than that.

Law[edit]

Laws (in the form of accepted customs, modes of behaviour and "debts of honor") are strict in the Karhyri Worlds, but society seems content with this well-ordered existence.

World Culture[edit]

Karhyri have a socially-oriented caste system (distinct from their biological caste system, though members of each genetic caste are typically found in certain social castes). Integrity and personal honour are essential to their culture.
