History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Despite its pleasant climate, Khaiai has been set aside for conduct of ritual clan wars. It is controlled by two old and powerful clans, the Khaukheairl and the Hrasua. In -1071 a clan war was declared to determine control of Khaiai, with a representative of the Yerlyaruiwo acting as earleatrais. It was eventually declared that the clan war had been fought so gallantly by both sides that Khaiai should be set aside as hallowed ground for use in future ritual wars -- with both Khaukheairl and Hrasua serving as the honourable custodians of this world.
After more than 2,000 years of history, Khaiai is dotted with monuments of the innumerable ritual wars fought over its surface.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Khaiai 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.
World Population (P)[edit]
Khaiai has population of 600 sophonts (hundreds).
- This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
