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.

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:

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.
