Mamshuli is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
• It is a member of the Rukadukaz Republic, a member of the Julian Protectorate, in the Vector Subsector of Amdukan Sector, which is located in the Vargr Extents.

• This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

History & Background (Dossier)

Mamshuli was once home to a minor race named the Kaanen by the world's original Vilani colonists (who settled long after the Kaanen had died out). The Kaanen were a subterranean species. Between their widely separated villages they dug long tunnels. As many as five thousand miles of passages are known, turning the entire southern continent where the Kaanen lived into a giant honeycomb.

The Kaanen were stocky, bipedal beings. Both legs and the main arms were very powerful, which allowed them to dig their tunnels despite their poor technology. The Kaanen died out some fifty thousand years ago, after centuries of decline.

World Starport

Mamshuli has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Historical Data

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within include the following:

• Antiquity: The Kaanen civilization emerges on Mamshuli.
  • They are believed to have died out before either the Vilani or (later) the Vargr arrive in the region.
• -1711: Near the end of the Vargr Pillaging, the proto-Ovaghoun conquer the world of Ikon.
  • Over time, the local Vilani culturally overrun their Vargr overlords, reshaping the Ovaghoun Vargr into a distinct, almost hybridised culture.
• -55: The Mmoannikh Accords between representatives of Logaksu Vargr and Ovaghoun Vargr societies ends a series of conflicts between the two cultures.
  • The Accords are rejected by the central Ikonaz government, leading to a shattering of the unity of the Ovaghoun.
• 175-191: The Julian War, which sees numerous attacks on Ikon, all of which fail in breaking the homeworld of the Ovaghoun.
  • The Ikonaz become a prominent member bloc of the Julian Protectorate.
• Circa 723: The Association of Good Wolves, the current government of Ikon, encourages the emigration of the working (i.e. Irilitok Vargr) classes to other, nearby worlds -- going so far as to subsidise 70% of the cost involved.
• Circa 937-940: The Fellowship of Nobles, the current Ikonaz government, collapses.
  • The Rukadukaz Republic is founded as the government of the Ikonaz Sphere in the aftermath.
• 942: The Julian Protectorate and the Hegemony of Lorean formally sign the Treaty of Var-Inaka (restricting naval basing) and the Julian Concord, incorporating the Hegemony into the Protectorate.
  • The Rukadukaz insist upon a 'buffer zone' of neutral systems between their territory and the Loreans.
