History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Three societies were established here, and in time blended to produce the culture to which the 300,000,000 modern residents belong. One consisted of immigrants from the early Third Imperium; the second comprised Humans who colonized the planet sometime during the First Imperium. The third was a proto-nation of barely sapient natives, of a species named Verishnalo in Vilani.
Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]
Vageau, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.
- It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
- It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial marquis.
- It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial viscount.
Urbanization[edit]
Residents inhabit the huge crevasses lining the world's surface, taking advantage of the greater atmospheric pressure in those lowlands.
