Oloe is an agricultural world with an ideal environment for producing food from plants, animals, or other lifeforms. The system has a population between 100,000 and 10 million sophonts. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Kourae Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Rukadukaz Republic. Oloe does not have the presence of Imperial Landed Nobility. Less than 10% of the world's population is the Minor Race Bwap.

History and Background[edit]

A vibrant world of casinos, stylized arena combat, live entertainment and other vices, Oloe is a popular tourist stop in the Empty Quarter's Alpha Quadrant. Not surprisingly, Oloe has developed a reputation as a haven for criminals and the decadent, despite its extensive media campaigns to the contrary. Most offworld visitors are treated quite well, experiencing many creature comforts at only a slightly inflated cost. The Oloe Regency, the premiere five-star hotel on the world's surface, hosts the subsector's largest gambling tournament, the Koevae Tour, every four years. Many of the hotels in the downport are already booked more than a year in advance.

The economy of Oloe is focused on the service industry -- in this case, gambling, contests, games of chance, arena combat, and all sorts of live entertainment. This is also a balkanized world. Its most common political pennant does not represent any local government or military, but the Oloe Gaming Association, who represent Oloe's interests in the broader galaxy.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Oloe has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Oloe has a population of 9,000,000 sophonts (millions).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics[edit]

  • Bwap, just under 10%
  • Other (Human and Vargr), just over 90%

World Languages[edit]

World Timeline[edit]

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
