History & Background (Dossier)

Tenuke is a part of the Darmine Cultural Region, created within rimward Zarushagar Sector by order of Emperor Artemsus in the years immediately following the Ilelish Pacification Campaign.

Much of the world's population are members of the Last Church of Man, an apocalyptic religion with about 200,000 adherents. It was founded in 1087 by the Reverend Zoe Schlint, who claimed to have had visions that the universe would see a final battle between good and evil. After the triumph of good, the universe would end and the faithful would be ushered into paradise.

World Starport (St)

Tenuke 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)

Tenuke has population of 500 sophonts (hundreds).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.

• Anglic, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
