History and Background[edit]

This world was chosen to be an industrial centre by the Suedzuk Vargr in -840. By -800, the world was covered in factories and hyper-violent Vargr settlements. For centuries, it was an important and wealthy Vargr world, rising up to TL-12. However, the atmosphere was poisoned by its industry, and the world largely abandoned by -500 TI Imperial.

Hegemony Period[edit]

The ancient Vargr settlements have now been overtaken by jungle life. The tainted atmosphere is very poisonous.

Sporadic, but well-armed anti-Hegemony activity was being suppressed here as of 993.

Uzola is not a particularly important world. However, it is known to be a host for certain criminal and terrorist elements within the Hegemony of Lorean. Lorean and Star Legion raids on the world are an occasional occurrence. Within the jungle regions of the planet, a huge network of entwined cables -- some thin, some massive -- point to the long-lost Vargr culture.

World Starport[edit]

Uzola 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.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are the most commonly used here:

World Culture[edit]

Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of

  • A Vilani conformity and caution,
  • A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
  • A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.

World Timeline[edit]

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

  • -840: Uzola is colonised by Suedzuk Vargr.
  • -500: The ravaged world is largely abandoned by the Suedzuk.
  • 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.
