Ukoen has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Flange Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Hegemony of Lorean. 100% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.

Remarks

History and Background[edit]

Most of the Irilitok inhabitants of this world reside in a single advanced settlement, hugging a deep ledge on a huge mountain high above the planetary surface. These Vargr are quite friendly to visitors, and are always ready to trade. Their relationship to the humanist Hegemony is rather complicated, but rewarding enough (to the right people) for the local Hegemonio masters to permit the Ukoenz Irilitok to build their wealth in peace. For most Travellers, this is one of the better places to reside.

World Starport[edit]

Ukoen 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.

Demographics and Culture[edit]

The entirety of the population of Ukoen lives in the city of Ukoen, near the summit of the awesome bulk of Mount Ksikir. The world is exceptionally large, with a crushing, dense atmosphere. The high-tech Vargr who have managed to settle the world have carved out a place for themselves on a mountain ridge, where the air is thin enough to breathe. The residents enjoy a mix of low-tech character and high-tech convenience, and -- despite being officially non-persons in the eyes of the humanist Hegemony -- live much more comfortably than the humans of the quadrant.

World Timeline[edit]

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

  • 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
  • 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
    • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
  • 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
    • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
  • 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
  • 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
    • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
  • 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
  • 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
  • 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
