Kakar is a vacuum world, with no atmosphere or hydrosphere. The system has a population over one billion. This world is designated an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor. This is a high technology world with available technology over the standards for Charted Space. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Laraa Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Kakar, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight (the Imperial representative to the world) and the fiefdom of a count. Both are members of the Imperial Landed Nobility who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level. During the Long Night this world was named Kakar.
Astrography and Planetology[edit]
Kakar is a member of the Sylean Main.
Stellar Data[edit]
History and Background[edit]
Kakar was initially established during the Rule of Man by refugees from the Balkan and German regions of Terra. During the early years of colonization the planetary government invited several prominent Vilani businesses to come to the hive cities of Kakar to help establish a financial base. With their support, Kakar quickly became a major banking and industrial nexus for the region. However, the power lay almost completely within the Vilani communities, particularly because only Vilani were recruited to fill the major posts. As a result the Vilani community swelled and grew rich while the original Solomani colony struggled, a fact that was to have repercussions in the years to come. From the Long Night on, racial tensions continued to flare, resulting in continued violence between Vilani and Solomani. From these roots sprang the Pure Brotherhood -- a Vilani pseudo-religion based upon racial superiority, originally formed as the Followers of Khaanii. This movement was apparently eradicated in 988 and Kakar has since regained its leading position as a major tax haven and banking center. Rumors of neo-Khaanii movements continue to circulate.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Kakar 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.
Linguistic Topography[edit]
The following languages are among the most commonly used here:
- Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
- Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
World Economy[edit]
Kakar, Kadushi, and Shardi have pooled their resources to form a government sponsored shipping company, Cluster Cargo Carriers. CCC specializes in transporting bulk freight, and is now considered to be serious competition for Tukera Lines in the area.
The Kakar government has a 30% equity interest in Cluster Cargo Carriers.
