Khezoeridosai is an agricultural world with an ideal environment for producing food from plants, animals, or other lifeforms. The system has a population between 100,000 and 10 million sophonts. The world has a colony on Aenguezae (Knoellighz 1114). This is a temperate world, with a climate of average temperatures. It is a Vargr dominated Non-Aligned world in the Engakhs Subsector of Knoellighz Sector.

System Data

The Khezoeridosai system features a single, wide-band planetoid belt being exploited by the entities of the Balkanized government, with factions laying claim to entire sections. Two Gas Giants are not claimed nor cordoned by any local entity, and all ships come to skim for fuel with impunity. The system traffic control has placed several thoroughfare beacons in series from the most common jump vectors at 100 Diameters.

Referees: Pilot (starship) and Pilot (spacecraft) are blessed with a +1DM for in-system transit if the beacons are used.  If so, then local traffic control automatically senses the vessel travelling the way-paths.  

Many of the traffic beacons also transmit commercial advertisement messages from the guild entities on Khezoridosai for a monthly fee. This floods the system with radio chatter on civilian bands.

Mainworld Atmosphere

The planet's Dense and Tainted atmosphere requires filters be used, both within the infrastructure and by individuals. With an atmospheric pressure of 1.9, the locals' respiratory systems are truly tested. Many off-worlders find Khezoeridosai's air stuffy and "itchy" to inhale through their filters. Fatigue can set in by as early as six hours and visitors may require pressure-lock tanks to help them acclimate to the pressure and tainting.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Khezoeridosai is oceanic, with 80% of its surface consisting of oceans and rivers. Very few wide lakes are present as the slope of the landmass is extreme, and water doesn't gather for long. Equatorial continents with spotted island chains encircle the world, while ice caps dominate the polar regions, with frequent icebergs travelling the seas. The lands are lush on this Agricultural world, and volcanic ash from the seamounts over tectonic hot-spots lends nutrients on a quarterly frequency.

History & Background (Dossier)

Khezoeridosai is the default capital world of the Engakhs Independent Cluster of Engakhs Subsector. It is not a formal capital (Cp), but rather the most Jump-capable world in the isolated group of systems. Other worlds in the Cluster are dependent upon, and investors to, Khezoeridosai's simple jump drives, its ships, and the designs that allow it to colonize or otherwise trade with the rest of its neighbors.

World Starport (St)

Khezoeridosai 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.

• There is an attached Naval Base.
• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)

Khezoeridosai has a population of 1,000,000 sophonts (millions).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

With a large mainworld holding its Vargr citizenry down with a strong 1.33 surface gravity, the average resident (Gvegh Vargr) is hardy with a strong skeletal and respiratory system, while needing dietary supplements for joints later in life.

Since settlers spread outward from Khezoeridosai into other worlds of the Engakhs Independent Cluster, the mainworld has drastically reduced its original Population to just over one million Vargr to work the farms and ranches, as urban areas are reduced to make room for more agrarian territory. Towns and small cities have become shells of former civilization as more colonists take off-world opportunities rather than remain.

World Government

Khezoeridosai government is Balkanized on both continents. Competing colonization, starship construction, agricultural, mining and refining corporate groups all seemingly follow a previous age's government guidelines in guild competition, racing to the stars. There are few civil conflicts, the only social divisor being those who wish to stay and those willing to strike out into space and the interstellar community.

Factions on Khezoridosai have colonized the small world of Aenguezae (Knoellighz 1114), a poor desert planet whose settlement cannot seem to take hold and requires frequent re-supply from its home benefactor in exchange for raw resources procured there.

World Technology

The mainworld's average Tech Level is 9, but spikes in the realm of jump technology and spacecraft and starship construction. However, originality is not a gift of the Vargr here. Many hulls appear alike though their purposes vastly differ. A colony ship may look exactly the same as a trader. A military vessel might stand out by its signature bristling turrets alone.

At the advent of the Jump-1 drive, a distinct spike in the average Tech Level of Khezoeridosai's settlers, the world Balkanized by continent as rival shipbuilders vied to produce the most efficient colony, trade and military classes. Many hulls are variable by purpose, holding the same basic configuration, tonnage, hardpoints and fuel for two jumps. Citizens of a continent work frantically to construct vessels in preparation to lift to orbit, fuel at one of the two Gas Giants, and begin a careful spool up to jump, seeking their fortunes in the wider Cluster.
