Nerikhir is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Rukadukaz Republic, a member of the Julian Protectorate, in the Naem Subsector of Mendan Sector, which is located in the Vargr Extents.

• This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

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.
