Abuish is a rich world.

  • As a rich world, this planet has high-grade living conditions and is highly sought after by immigrating sophonts.
  • Some of the sources of this world's wealth are well known, but others remain a mystery. Many speculate on these mysterious sources of wealth. Some even investigate them... to no avail yet.
  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Tsosoe Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Hegemony of Lorean.

Description (Astrography and Planetology)[edit]

This system is part of the namesake Abuish Cluster.

Stellar Data[edit]

Abuish has two stars in the star system.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Abuish is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Abuish has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Abuish has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

History and Background[edit]

The interstellar polity of Abuish was founded among the Spark Worlds in 483.

Abuish was forcefully annexed to the Damlaer Union in 534, and later joined the Hegemony of Lorean when the Union did, in 942. Supposedly, it was bribed to go along with it.

While Orchard (Empty Quarter 3012) was meant to be the premiere Arzula settlement world in Empty Quarter's Beta Quadrant, in reality, Abuish is the place to be for the settlers with the best political connections. Ironically, the reason for this is linked to the locals' willingness to use the rules and power of the fascist interstellar state for their own advantage: "Somebody's gotta profit from all those government contracts, government regulations, and government supervision. Why not us?" While the scofflaw attitudes of the Irilitok Vargr made them rich, they are careful to insure that powerful Humans in powerful places benefit from their wealth as well, which is where the citizens of Abuish come in.

While the Vargr occasionally are permitted to visit as guests, they are not permitted to stay, while Beta Humaniti (non-Arzula, non-Damlaerite Humans native to the Quarter) never step foot on Abuish. Only whistleblowers are held in greater contempt -- and on this idyllic waterworld, they tend to die during police questioning at an alarming rate.

World Starport[edit]

Abuish has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Timeline[edit]

These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this world and the surrounding region:

  • 359-375: War of Man, as Humans rebel against repressive Vargr rule in coreward Empty Quarter Sector.
  • 483: The interstellar polity of Abuish is founded.
  • 534: The Abuish polity is forcefully annexed to the Damlaer Union.
  • 814: The Third Imperium and the Arzula authorities forge a trading agreement, leading to the creation of the Deep Space Stations of the Saeghvung-Turley-Exile Run, crossing the Lesser Rift in Empty Quarter Sector.
  • 822-835: Much of Arzul Sector is conquered by the Arzula.
    • 835-860s: The Blighted War drains the Arzula's nascent Hegemony as it tries to conquer five subsectors.
  • 864: The modern Hegemony of Lorean is founded, starting out as a 'trade and aid' group of interstellar traders centred on a cluster of high-population systems dominating Mycocona Subsector.
    • The great success of this trade coalition leads to a sharp rise of economic and then military power.
  • 869-870: The repressive methods of the Hegemony, and the refusal of local resistance to buckle, leads to the Era of Horror in parts of coreward Empty Quarter Sector, as the Hegemony responds with undue cruelty against its enemies.
  • 872: The worlds of Kotsfa Subsector secede from the Hegemony, defying efforts to stop them.
    • Further disintegration is only prevented with the suicide of the Hegemon and radical economic reforms introduced by his successor.
  • 933-936: The defection of the Damlaer Union from the Julian Protectorate to the Hegemony leads to the Lorean Strikes. Failed military action leads to a major political crisis within the Protectorate.
  • 940: As part of this political upheaval, the government of the Ikonaz Sphere collapses, replaced by the Rukadukaz Republic.
  • 942: The Protectorate and the Hegemony formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Julian Protectorate.
    • Abuish becomes a Hegemony world by default (and supposedly due to being bribed not to resist).
