Jump map from Travellermap.com

Muugagen is a poor, nonindustrial 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.
• This world has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ian Subsector of Corridor Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• It is a colony of, and controlled from, Kiran.
• This world was once known as Amki.

Description (Planetology)

This system is part of the Atsah Cluster, which within Corridor Sector is often known instead as the Kiran Cluster.

	Remarks

Flora and Fauna

This is the homeworld of the unlikely, flying Muugagen pigbird. These are small enough to be exported as pets and have gone feral on several nearby worlds.

History & Background (Dossier)

This world was colonized by Kiran (Corridor 0112), from which its government is controlled. This formed a Jump-2 link between Kiran (then known as Kilii Ar) and Kiiama (later Kumorie (Corridor 0112)). The world was hardly affected by the Denebian spotted fever outbreak that so devastated the worlds at each end of this trade route.

High Nobility

Muugagen, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.

The Knight's estate is on a small island at about 65 degrees south. This was hurriedly abandoned when the arrival of the Dzarrgh Federate appeared imminent, and looted by the Vargr thereafter.

World Starport (St)

Muugagen has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Later Historical Eras

Hard Times

This world was taken by Dzarrgh Federate in 1118 who just replaced the Kirani Government with their own Governor.

Collapse

The Virus has little effect on the planet's population, an Empire Builder strain replacing the Dzarrgh Federate in 1139 and a Puppeteer strain briefly taking over some time after that. The population's response is to destroy what it can (including the starport beacons), shut down whatever electrical power sources it can find and revert to the steam-age. While it can't fight the starships, it doesn't help them either.
