Waken is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.
- Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ebasha Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.
- This world was colonized by and is controlled from Rahim (world).

History & Background[edit]
A revolt in Waken's largest multi-leveled subterranean city prompted its parent world—Ebasha—to ask the Solomani for help in defeating the rebels. SolSec was only too glad to oblige.
- Only three weeks after Ebasha’s Planetary League made its request, a pair of 10,000 ton frigates arrived in the Waken system, conspicuously armed with particle accelerator bays. This did not end the revolt, but it certainly prevented a rebel takeover.
- A week later, the Ebashan Expeditionary Force arrived, a 10,000 man military contingent comprised mostly of NOVA (New Order Vigilance Alliance) units from Sunz and Vornam. Volunteers from various Solomani client systems in Hijiri subsector comprised the rest of the Force. There were only 200 Ebashans in the whole contingent.
- The Expeditionary Force’s reprisals against rebel activities are swift and brutal, but not always accurate. There have been over 30 cases where terrorist suppression raids were carried out against innocent individuals and their families.
- Expatriate Wakeners have recently learned that the two frigates have left the system. This means that the hope of a counterstrike now exists. Now, if only they can locate a unit of willing counterstrikers.
Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]
Waken, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of two members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.
