Leader of (unsurprisingly) the Worlds of Leader Rukh.

Rukh was not only an extremely charismatic leader but a skilled tactician and experienced raider. After uniting several corsair bands on Orra, Rukh gained a loyal following. His leadership was legendary, and many corsair bands signed up to fight alongside the mighty Rukh.

Under his guidance, Rukh’s forces conquered neighbouring worlds and his empire swiftly expanded. Within five years he had amassed a large military force and ruled half the subsector, naming it after himself. A decade later his empire spanned four subsectors and consisted of nearly 30 worlds, becoming one of the major powers in Gvurrdon Sector.

Rukh died in 1097, in an assault on the Zhodani-claimed world now named Khoeghersaeng.
