History & Background (Dossier)

During the Long Night, Tournakh was a member of the Old Verge Combine, a small polity claiming sovereignty over a number of worlds.

There is an ongoing power struggle between the leaders of Uranion, Kizull, and Tournakh. This has resulted in an ongoing low level rebellion on Uranion, characterised by violent oppression rather than any real fighting. Since the Tyrant of Uranion's paranoia and aggressive policing has been sweeping up off-worlders and treating them badly, the IISS has designated the world as an Amber Zone. The Sector Duke on Tripolis endorsed this action, hoping to keep the simmering trade war from spreading.

Ilelish Interstellar, the leading media corporation within Verge Sector, has offices and facilities on the world.

• It is known for its intrusive and sensationalist style of journalism.

World Starport (St)

Tournakh has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

The port is properly run and maintained, largely to fulfil a ship maintenance contract that is held with Uranion.

World Government (G)

Tournakh is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. A continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and replaced by allies or protégés. The reasons for the change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

The current Leader of Tournakh is a relative of the Tyrant of Uranion.

World Law (L)

Tournakh has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology.
