History & Background (Dossier)

Empress Marava was born on Kaskii, and there was a great deal of excitement about it during her short reign as one of the many Emperors of the Flag.

World Government (G)

Kaskii is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Law (L)

Kaskii has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy

Non-canon: In search of lucrative civilian and commercial contracts some of the defense sub contractors united to build large cruise ships. Faced with a period of relative peace, and the resulting budget cut backs, stressed military ship builders turned in search of other work. The Independence of the Stars Class Liner is one of their Freedom Class of passenger mega liners. Over engineered, these giant vessels are jump capable luxury resorts. The designers brought their military sensibilities to this vessel which features, theaters, casinos and vast dining halls. Their secret hope was it could lead to a noble's contract for massive troop transport designs in the future.
