Kimalad is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts in population size, and a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Old Suns Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.

Description

Kimalad was a jungle planet until its colonisation in -3,205 by the Vilani. It was heavily mined using open cast tech methods. Vast stretches of the planet were ripped open to allow the money-hungry humans to rape its mineral wealth. Then the Long Night caused man to leave Kimalad alone. Slowly the planet recovered and the jungles covered the planet once more though the deep scars of man’s earlier occupation were still unable to support life.

Then in -231 Humaniti returned, not to plunder but to live - in harmony. Settlements were built on the immense flat-topped mesas. Multi-tiered buildings of infinite hue covered the mounds as the population increased but the inhabitants refused to allow expansion to extend down to the jungle floor. Instead they built upwards forming cities of hundreds of levels, lying precariously upon each other. Monorails link the cities together.

Kimalad has two stars in the star system.

History & Background (Dossier)

Era: Milieu 1116: Kimalad is a major centre for trade and commerce within the subsector and it is claimed that its markets can supply anything you have ever dreamt of. The jungle floor is home to the Ishupkura, a large grazing beast prized for its meat. Although Ishupkura can be raised on other worlds, those raised in the natural wilderness of Kimalad have a superior taste and texture.

Era: Milieu 0

Kimalad is the center and power base of a pocket empire which extends from Nipe (Dagudashaag 1406) to Armiirk (Dagudashaag 1705), also encompassing Uumin Duu (Dagudashaag 1507), Nuunzaaind (Dagudashaag 1604), and Imar (Dagudashaag 1605). The emperor, Jyond Quasot, is a master of manipulation. He has turned his subjects into rabid psionphobes with his stories of Guukian spies within his empire. He has used this fear of psionics in order to consolidate his power and elminate his enemies. He is currently riding the tidal wave of public psioniophobia to war with the neighboring Guukian Federation.
