History & Background (Dossier)

A deeply competitive race, the Bhunj of nearby Ketial (Fornast 1933) embraced the mercantile freedoms of the Rule of Man. The power void left as the Rule of Man retracted toward Core led to the formation of the Second Bhunj Exclusion, which would persist in some form through nearly half of the Long Night; as it collapsed, Bhunj communities were left on a number of worlds, including this one.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Zukhin, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.
