Syoakh is a pre-agricultural, pre-Industrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

  • It requires significant imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly improve barring outside forces.
  • This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • It is a member of the Glorious Empire in the Goertel Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Syoakh is an earth-like world located in the Goertel Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

  • The world is the capital of of the Glorious Empire and contains an independent base.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Syoakh has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Culture[edit]

Culturally, Syoakh is as important to the Aslan of the Empire as Kusyu is to the Aslan Hierate.

  • Syoakh society is dominated by the government and the military, and at the head of all is the Grand Emperor, which is not a hereditary title: any leader of a pride may challenge the sitting Emperor to trial by combat.
  • In truth, though, the military camps on the outer islands of the mainworld and in orbit are far more important to the running of the Glorious Empire.

Urbanization[edit]

The city and starport of Syoakh are truly beautiful and one of the best examples of high-Aslan art outside the Hierate.

  • The city is mostly taken up with bureaucracy and the machinery of government.
  • The Glorious Empire is absurdly centralized and virtually every non-military decision of note is recorded by clerks on Syoakh.

Demographics[edit]

  • The ratio of Aslan to human on Syoakh is more than nine to one; the few humans are ceremonial slaves and servants.
