For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Economy

The economy is dedicated to the support of the IISS scout base.

World Culture

The system's culture is dominated by the IISS and its customs are closely related to those widely held by that institution. The IISS base training schools lend teachers to local teaching institutions and as a result the education system is heavily influenced by IISS doctrine. Up to 37% of all graduating children of the planet will join the IISS each year.

Historical Data

Settlement

Nurara was settled by Vargr from Aerfor (Deneb 3104) as part of the Ksekgizoksdhaerzluenoe in 148 but became part of the Sandherroerghdoe Kaefoulto during the internecine strife that split the Ksekgizoksdhaerzluenoe into two parts. The Vargr named the world Alloun Ezaedhingruk which was shortened to Ouneza (then Ounurara) by the Imperial Traders.

Nurara was first settled by Humans during the Vargr Campaigns when the existing Sandherroerghdoe Kaefoulto colony had been eliminated by a task force from the Imperial Marines. This was around the new scout base (Nurara) that had been established on the world at a completely new site -- the old ruins remained untouched. Nurara was admitted to the Imperium in 400.

Nurara scout base has been heavily involved in coreward exploration of the Galaxy by the IISS.

Imperial Years

Nurara's civilian establishments consisted of two main urban centres -- the Scout Base and the estate of the Imperial Knight. Both were marginal affairs. They were temporarily abandoned during the First and Second Frontier Wars when the region was overrun by Vargr, but were rebuilt later in, or after each conflict.

World Timeline

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

• ca -250,000: The Ancients are active within the region, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
• -9235: The Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
• -4045 to -2204: The Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
• -3810: The Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
• -2400s: Vargr raiding into Human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
• ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between Human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1776 to 0: The Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• The Year 0: To rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: The Empire of Varroerth is founded.
• early 100s: The Contract of Taarskoerzn is founded.

• 300-420: The Imperial First Survey charts the system.

Later Eras (Click Expand to reveal)

Rebellion and The New Era

As a result of the decision to withdraw the Scout Base as part of the Abandonment both were closed-up in 1135 and the population evacuated to Gaza (Deneb 1615). The Regency Interstellar Scout Service moved them using a liner chartered from Tukera Lines for the purpose. The population's heavier equipment was aboard a separate vessel. This vessel was intercepted by Pirates at Tensas (Deneb 2810) and so the population arrived destitute. Because much of the equipment stolen belonged to the RISS, the theft was investigated, and some of the RISS equipment recovered at Mazirbe (Deneb 2210). This didn't help the evacuees much, but six members of the Knight's retinue were convicted for being complicit in the theft in 1137.

Imperial Landed Nobility

The Nobles of Nurara were evacuated by the IISS in 1135.

World Starport

Nurara does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

• n.b. After 1135, the starport was officially rated "X".

World Government

Nurara has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

• Nurara was Abandoned in 1135.

World Law Level

Nurara has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
