Ka'aheakh is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, as a world where multiple clans have split control of the planet, in the Delta Cephei Subsector of Beyond Sector.
- It is the homeworld of the Ktiauao sophont species.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Ka'aheakh is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Ka'aheakh has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Ka'aheakh has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.
Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]
Lifeforms[edit]
The intelligence of the natives is dependent on a symbiotic fungus the Aslan call Kti, which is intertwined with the central nervous system of the Ktiauao.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The native Ktiauao have rebuilt their civilization with Aslan help after the Tlasayoae clan, now defunct, unleashed a bioweapon that destroyed their previous culture by targeting the symbiotic fungus that grants the species sapience. The Syoisuis clan claimed the planet from the annihilated Tlasayoae, and helped the natives reestablish themselves. Restored to consciousness, the Ktiauao have no direct connection to their past and by default are now heavily influenced by Aslan Hierate culture.
World Starport[edit]
Ka'aheakh 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 Demographics[edit]
Of its 6,000,000 people, half are native Ktiauao, half are Aslan.
World Languages[edit]
- Trokh: The universal language of the modern Aslan monoculture.
- Aslan Languages: Note that some Aslan clans retain obscure or archaic languages for personal use in addition to Trokh.
- Native Ktiauao languages were lost during the period of forced non-sapience, and today they speak Aslan languages.
Urbanization[edit]
Aslan architecture tends to the organic and the rounded. They favour artistry over efficiency in the design of their buildings -- every Aslan structure is different. Even in mass-produced housing, residents will strive to make their territory uniquely theirs.
- Since Aslan descend from predators and enjoy open terrain, their buildings often feature both open rooms of great size and a number of concealed rooms, balconies, hidden passageways and hideaways.
World Technology Level (T)[edit]
Ka'aheakh possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B 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-2.
World Government (G)[edit]
Ka'aheakh has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.
World Culture[edit]
The Ktiauao are tolerated as members of the Hierate because the Syoisuis say they should be. As such, the race is expected to adhere to Aslan gender roles, with the neuter sex treated as female. They are considered a minor clan and can gain territory, which is passed down through the male line.
