History & Background (Dossier)

This world was a member of the Chanestin Kingdom, a rival to the Sylean Federation in the centuries preceding formation of the Third Imperium.

Khea and Keshi have advocated the establishment of a Chanestin Worlds cultural zone and, at times, have actively stirred up insurgent groups on many of the kingdom's former worlds to help support their cause.

World Starport (St)

Khea 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.

World Population (P)

Khea has a population of 3,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

• Core Anglic, one of the principal dialects of one of the two official languages of the Imperium.

These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended.
