History & Background (Dossier)

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Nurara, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Nobility overseeing the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.

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

World Starport

1105

Nurara has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld. n.b. After 1135, the starport was officially rated "X".

1200

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.

World Government

1105

Nurara is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population. Nurara was Abandoned in 1135.

1200

Nurara has no central government for the world, 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.

World Law Level

1105

Nurara has a low law level. 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. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

1200

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.

World Economy

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

World Demographics

1105

Nurara has a population of 10,000 to 99,999 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• Most examples of this type are capable of resource extraction but lack an industrial base, in particular factories, to make use of the resources.
  

Approx 60,000
The entire population is Human with less than 6,000 non-human inhabitants.

1200

Nurara has no population (...zero sophonts). It is devoid of a known sophont population.

• It may still possess non-sophontic lifeforms, which is to say creatures.
• It may even have or had devolved or atavistic lifeforms that might have once been tool-users and makers.
• It is a Barren World.
  

World Culture

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

World Timeline

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.

Abandonment

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.
