Nukyls is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• 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 Third Imperium in the Laeth Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• During the Long Night this world was named Ksis Sa.

World Government

Nukyls is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

Before the Third Imperium and corporate dominance -- during the last years of the Long Night -- the government followed a feudal technocracy model. There was a nominal queen, but her role wasn't that of an overlord but rather to co-ordinate the public assemblies which were elected in each town. Through her vassals she exercised some judicial powers.

World Culture

The planetary religion is Bicon -- a form of interactive monotheism which includes allowing believers to choose the creature into which they will be reincarnated when they die. Rigorous attendance at the ritualistic weekly services is required of all believers.

The culture has a vehement predilection for vegetarianism.

Children chose their own first names on adulthood.
