The Khastok Cluster is a grouping of star systems located in the Empty Quarter Sector, within space of the Julian Protectorate (and specifically the Rukadukaz Republic).

History and Background[edit]

Soon after his promotion to Star General, Rukadur Lyihr, from the world of Kadrius (Amdukan 0538), located within the Rukadukaz Republic, was tasked with maintaining and organizing the defense of the Khastok Cluster. Khastok Command, the Star General's charge, includes not only the Khastok Cluster proper but three outlying systems, Unaeng (Empty Quarter 1013), Uku (Empty Quarter 1211) and Uedzoen (Empty Quarter 1110).

Most of the cluster's population is located on Irikrough, and most of the systems are primarily Vargr. Sizeable minorities of Human and Bwap live among them. The Technology Level bounces between 7 and 8 in the main, and the starports and living standards are generally better than might be expected for these systems (Ikonic wealth, trade, and subsidies can be thanked for that).

Most military threats involve Suedzuk raiders from the Ssilnthis Gap. As the Star Legion is a strong and effective organization, attacks by the Suedzuk Vargr are rare, but they do occur.
