Kajaani is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a member of the Kajaani Triumvirate in the Kajaani Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.
- Kajaani is one of the three capitals of the Kajaani Triumvirate.
- This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]
Much of Kajaani's surface is semi-arid, with deserts and eroded badlands. Few steep mountain ranges remain but large areas of rugged ridgelines and broad valleys filled with life dominate the geography near the oceans. With the population concentrating in urban centres filled with towering arcologies, most of Kajaani's land area remains in a natural state.

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Low gravity and high atmospheric density give rise to a number of airborne lifeforms including the floating forests of ru'ua, photosynthesising blimp-like flora with hundreds of balloon-tipped branches on their sides. A variety of parasitic or mutualistic flora and fauna inhabit these ru'ua. Some ru'ua species span more than 200 metres in diameter, constrained in size only by the force of heavy storms.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Kajaani is one of the three leading worlds of the Kajaani Triumvirate. Its people are known as aggressive traders who conspicuously show off their wealth, which brings them as much disdain as admiration. Since the founding of the Triumvirate in 705, Kajaani has been the seat of the Executive Triumvirate, its senate and its supreme court. Although Kajaani, Eufalag and Tizayuca are technical co-equal rulers of the state, Kajaani is "more equal" than the others.
Kajaani is a tourist destination for the wealthy from the Corellan League and from as far away as the Diadem Main and the Monarchy of Lod.

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]
Kajaani has a population of 800,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

World Government (G)[edit]
Kajaani 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.
