History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Ueksou 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 Population (P)

Ueksou has a population of 30,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Demographics

• Human, 90% (mostly Vilani)
• Vargr, 10% (Ovaghoun Vargr)

World Languages

• Ikonaz Vargr: A form of the dominant Ovaghoun language in the Ikonaz Sphere (and so in the Rukadukaz Republic).
• Ikonaz Vilani: A variant of the above altered to suit Human vocalization.

World Technology Level (T)

Ueksou possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government (G)

Ueksou is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law (L)

Ueksou has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Timeline

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.
  • The Ikonaz become a prominent member bloc of the Julian Protectorate.
• 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.
  • The Rukadukaz Republic is founded as the government of the Ikonaz Sphere in the aftermath.
• 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.
