History & Background (Dossier)

Gimashkhizara is best known for the semi-historical, semi-mythological figure of Captain Black. During the long and increasingly low-tech Suedzuk Vargr occupation of the world, he successfully used sailing ships to attack Vargr shipping and ports. The most reliable records and chronicles suggest that he lived around -950 Imperial; he is perhaps comparable to the figure of King Arthur in Terran English history.

One of the first flags of the Lorean Hegemony used the historic symbol of Black's ship.

World Starport (St)

Gimashkhizara has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Government (G)

Gimashkhizara is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
