Kulloerr has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. This is a high technology world with available technology over the standards for Charted Space. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Flange Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Hegemony of Lorean. Kulloerr does not have the presence of Imperial Landed Nobility. 100% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.

  • This system was named after a rather egocentric Vargr pirate in c.290 Imperial. Beforehand, it was called Lallellrerrarr.

Astrography and Planetology[edit]

This system is part of the eponymous Kulloerr Cluster.

Remarks

History and Background[edit]

A small wet world, Kulloerr is not well disposed to the Hegemony of Lorean. Political disagreements between various leaders of the world governments of Kulloerr and the administration of the Hegemony Communications Service has left this well-populated and technologically advanced world outside the normal communication routes. In response, Kulloerr's most powerful governments do not hold the Hegemony in high regard, but consider the protection of the Star Legion granted by membership to currently be worth maintaining limited, if somewhat strained, formal ties with the interstellar polity.

Prior to the Nishhingh War (and predating Lorean expansion), Kulloerr maintained a polity known formally as the Kulloerr Nation.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Kulloerr 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

Kulloerr has a population of 4,000,000 sophonts (millions).

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

World Demographics[edit]

Linguistic Topography[edit]

  • Irilitok: The language family of the most populous Vargr phenotype and ethnic culture within the Julian Protectorate.
    • Tenirruet: A widespread Irilitok trade language within the Hegemony of Lorean

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Kulloerr possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:

World Government (G)[edit]

Kulloerr has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

World Law (L)[edit]

Kulloerr has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Timeline[edit]

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

  • Circa 290: The world Lallellrerrarr is renamed Kulloerr after an ambitious Vargr pirate.
  • 636: Kulloerr Nation drops out of the Nishhingh War after being bled dry on the battlefield, making a separate peace with the BloodUnion.
  • 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
  • 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
    • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
  • 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
    • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
  • 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
  • 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
    • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
  • 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
  • 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
  • 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
