Native Sophont: Yileans

• Gashikan is the home world to a minor race of Humaniti called the Yileans. They are a distinct subspecies of Homo sapiens, though now highly diluted by long intermixing with Vilani migrants during the first and second Imperiums.

History & Background

This T-Prime/Garden world has been home to a series of genocidal human empires. This world is historically important and has a high population, excellent starport facilities and shipyards. The law level is extremely restrictive, although trade continues to thrive.

• It has been the site of long standing warfare between humans and Vargr. The planet was subject to nuclear attack in -1658, and is still subject to Urzaeng raiding.
• The site of an extensive Naval Base for centuries. While the importance of the base has varied considerably over time, it currently ranks highly in the Empire's Navy for importance and honor among the personnel. While most spacers prefer to serve aboard ships, none will turn down a posting to Gashikan System Command.
• Today, in the Third Empire of Gashikan, Vargr slavery is still common, especially in the coreward areas and in most of Trenchans sector. On Gashikan itself, Vargr are subject to immediate and summary execution; elsewhere in the rimward sections of the sector, Vargr segregation, serfdom, and peonage are more common than outright Vargr slavery, although the latter is far from unknown.

Languages

• Galanglic
• Modern Gashikan
