Maka Plat is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts in population size, a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, and still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
- Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
- The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
- This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
- This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
- It is a member of the Pirian Domain in the Maka Subsector of Gakghang Sector.
"Maka" is slang for "Maker". Craftsmanship is prized in the local culture, which has made this system a primary supplier of manufactured goods - including starships for the raids from Vargrlaunch, especially once PD FuelFac 3 opened in 550. (Indeed, enabling this trade was one of the reasons PD FuelFac 3 was set up when it was.)
Thus, when the Empress Wave came by, there was an outpouring of creative effort. The most successful solutions amounted to cheap, one-use low berths, lasting about a year before their patients needed to be revived and unable to be used beyond that. This limited the immediate population reduction, though the Wave's effects on fauna and flora had not been anticipated, resulting in the usual industrial destruction - though Maka Plat bounced back from that much faster than most worlds with surviving populations.
Maka Plat has dominated its neighbor worlds Maka Sumt and Maka Seal enough that they were named part of the Maka "constellation", though as of 1105 there is no remaining active influence (Sumt's remaining population has been abandoned to die of old age, and Seal has been depopulated).
Maka Plat became majority Vargr in the 600s as a result of immigration facilitated by PD FuelFac 3, and has remained so ever since. Given standard Pirian culture in that time, this is less significant than it would be for a world of the Third Imperium.
