Khankari is a pre-agricultural, nonindustrial garden world.

  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most forms of sophontic life.
  • It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to gradually rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Voskhod Subsector of Vland Sector in the Domain of Vland.

Mainworld Data[edit]

When the wind blows on Khankari, it is noticed. The dense atmosphere carries enormous kinetic energy, and served to distribute heat from the tropics to the poles. Khankari's sharp axial tilt and short year (in the inner orbit around a cool star) contribute to abrupt seasonal changes, and generate some of the sector's most dramatic weather. Hurricanes wiped out the first colony planted here and decimated the population repeatedly thereafter. The small group now living there use well-reinforced homes, often underground.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Khankari, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the estate of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Khankari has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
