Toghdzoerzuedh is an icy, barren vacuum world, with no overt population, government, or law level, which would warrant hazardous environment precautions if anyone lived here.

  • Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
  • This world could be populated by a determined group if they had an inclination to do so... This is a cold world with an overall climate at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.  This world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left leaving behind the remnants of their civilization. It is a member of Democracy of Greats in the Goengsakh Subsector of Knoellighz Sector.

History and Background[edit]

The Goengsakh Subsector colonists that settled in the frozen ice caverns of Toghdzoerzuedh survived for a time with the help of their technologies and careful den planning. However, the tectonic activity of the planet's plates produced a transverse fault earthquake so powerful and continuous that it collapsed all of the colony’s tunnels, caverns and the Downport. Twelve thousand Vargr settlers of the Democracy of Greats became trapped, cut off from their power plant and unable to reach the surface of the planet to signal their distress.

Classic Era: 1105

As of 1105, the Ice-capped world of Toghzoerzuedh is assumed alive though there is no traffic outbound from Toghzoerzuedh and no distress signals have evidenced. The colonists are trapped and dying rapidly from cold, starvation and cave-ins.

Hard Times Era: 1120

An expedition in the Hard Times Era of 1121 to determine the fate of the original Downport on Toghzoerzuedh excavated and rediscovered the colony, its frozen solid people, technology and even low-tonnage starships preserved in transparent, glacial ice. A near-surface outpost base camp was erected with help from adjacent Duesaenlaell (Knoellighz 2729).

Virus Era: 1130s

Though the base camp was destroyed by orbital Vampire fleet bombardment, the re-excavated tunnels were overlooked and undetected by Virus. This ice-bound and inactive, C-rated Downport at TL–11 was re-opened after Virus evolved to something less destructive, allowing this region of space a crutch to re-establish interstellar society. By 1150, the UWP of Toghzoerzuedh is C303420-B Ic Lo Ni Va and this world is a small hub insulated from remaining Vampires as the rediscovered technology is kept quarantined by ice and later by quarantine protocols imported from Gvurrdon Sector.

Empress Wave: 1147
