Okekwi is a poor, high-population world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.
- This world is always on the edge of revolution as the common citizen struggles under extremely low wages. Much dissent is present.
- It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Deeskor Subsector of Porlock Sector.
- This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Certain carnivorous lifeforms -- and the habitats supporting them -- are protected due to their important role in predation of Hiver larvae. Hiver intelligence is the product of environmental stresses in infancy; avoiding these perils triggers the larva's capacity for consciousness.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
No information yet available.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Okekwi has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
- A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
- The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
- Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.
World Population (P)[edit]
Okekwi has a population of 80,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
World Demographics[edit]
- Hiver, population 95%
- Other, population 5%
World Languages[edit]
- Hiver Sign Language
- Gurvin
- Non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.
Urbanization[edit]
Hivers are fond of rounded shapes, domes, spheres and non-Euclidian architecture. This is ironic in that many schools of Hiver starship construction are focused around the opposite -- extremely square, boxy ships.
- Hivers like small, cramped domiciles with defined spaces and solid walls. Much of a Hiver nest is subterranean.
- Pet Snohl may be found in the deeper nests.
World Government (G)[edit]
Okekwi is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
World Military[edit]
As a member of the Hive Federation, this world can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
No information yet available.

- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
