Jump map from Travellermap.com

Lermengnien is a nonindustrial, pre-rich oceanic water world.

• It is covered with very deep oceans with less than 1% of its land above sea level.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 1% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• 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.
• Its economy and population are moderately growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Rukadukaz Republic, a member of the Julian Protectorate, in the Oulduktak Subsector of Antares Sector, which is located in the Vargr Extents.

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within include the following:

• -1711: Near the end of the Vargr Pillaging, the proto-Ovaghoun conquer the world of Ikon.
  • Over time, the local Vilani culturally overrun their Vargr overlords, reshaping the Ovaghoun Vargr into a distinct, almost hybridised culture.
• -55: The Mmoannikh Accords between representatives of Logaksu Vargr and Ovaghoun Vargr societies ends a series of conflicts between the two cultures.
  • The Accords are rejected by the central Ikonaz government, leading to a shattering of the unity of the Ovaghoun.
• 175-191: The Julian War, which sees numerous attacks on Ikon, all of which fail in breaking the homeworld of the Ovaghoun.
  • The Ikonaz become a prominent member bloc of the Julian Protectorate.
• Circa 723: The Association of Good Wolves, the current government of Ikon, encourages the emigration of the working (i.e. Irilitok Vargr) classes to other, nearby worlds -- going so far as to subsidise 70% of the cost involved.
• Circa 937-940: The Fellowship of Nobles, the current Ikonaz government, collapses.
  • The Rukadukaz Republic is founded as the government of the Ikonaz Sphere in the aftermath.
• 942: The Julian Protectorate and the Hegemony of Lorean formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Protectorate.
  • The Rukadukaz insist upon a 'buffer zone' of neutral systems between their territory and the Loreans.
