Mainworld Data[edit]

Native Lifeforms[edit]

A purple-furred, quasi-reptilian lifeform has been domesticated on Kagash, and the 22nd Division Imperial Rangers are known for using them as mounts.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Kagash was colonised prior to the discovery of neighbouring Kamsii. In its early years, Kagash benefitted from the type of industrial infrastructure Kamsii would later enjoy, albeit with terraforming to aid in crop growth. This led to Kagash becoming a breadbasket, but it didn't bring wealth to the planet. Over time, favouritism demonstrated by the nobility led the people of Kagash to view Kamsii enviously.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Kagash 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 Population (P)[edit]

Kagash has a population of 5,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The most commonly heard languages are:

World Technology Level (TL)[edit]

Kagash possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
    • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
    • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
    • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)[edit]

Kagash is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Law (L)[edit]

Kagash has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).
