Sudvoukh has both an unbreathable thin atmosphere and a lack of surface water, making habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Tsahrroek Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Rukadukaz Republic. 80% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Sudvoukh is a rocky desert world, barely capable of supporting life above some basic molds, fungi and life of a similar nature. Long ago, several nearby worlds used Sudvoukh as a penal colony for various types of prisoners. Over the decades, the few survivors that managed to eke out a life on the barren plains of Sudvoukh formed tribes of roaming scavengers that compete for rare local resources such as water and control over the fungal fields that provide nourishment.

History and Background[edit]

The Star Legion maintains regular patrols in the system, as it is rumored that corsair bands such as the recently successful Aengsoekkuervoe have been recruiting raiders and boarding troops from the hardened tribal warriors.

This world was in the midst of an extensive terraforming project when the Julian War started. Most of the scientists and researchers fled the incoming Imperial warships: the few that didn’t died for their stubbornness.

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.
