World Starport

Karam has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. 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.

Linguistics

The following languages are used on this world:

• Hindi, a dialect of the Indo-Iranic Family of languages that the Terrans spread to the stars during the Terran Confederation and Rule of Man.
• Rim Anglic, a dialect of Anglic and the principal language of the Confederation. It is a second language within the Hanuman Systems.
  • Firstspeak: A constructed interlingua based on Anglic, devised by the Solomani Party in order to overcome communication barriers created by the many diverse languages and dialects that have arisen over the centuries within the region since the time of the Terran Confederation.

World Culture

The Hanuman Systems owe their name to the local religion, an unusual mix of old Terran Hinduism and modern evolutionary theory. The Systems' inhabitants believe Hanuman -- the Hindu monkey god -- to be the patron deity of all primates, including Humans. They have gained a widespread reputation for their frequent ceremonies and devotions.

Karam is different from most Hanuman worlds due to its totalitarian government, and as such is a social outlier within the Hanuman community. The Solomani Confederation has interdicted the world, suggesting that its leadership is at odds with the Solomani Party.
