History & Background (Dossier)

Gvaeknoks have a share in an Oulaekho Arms weapon production plant on Ghenkerongolu. This plant is called Dokhoullae.

World Starport (Sp)

Ghenkerongolu 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.

• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)

Ghenkerongolu has a population of 60,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

• The population consists of Vargr.

• Gvegh.

Urbanization

Vargr cities are lively and chaotic, full of garish colours and loud noises. Streets are packed and buildings press together. Vehicle traffic is fast and chaotic; the accident rate is low only because of superior Vargr reflexes. Zoning codes are rare, and districts jumble together.

Ghenkerongolu has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

• Corruption is common in the Worlds of Leader Rukh; bribes are made to officials to avoid certain taxes, and charismatic individuals can talk their way out of most potential problems and fees.
• To reduce any dissident movements within the military, soldiers are paid and treated well.

• 1058: Founding of the Worlds of Leader Rukh, a new polity ruled by the eponymous Vargr.

• 1069: Several governments unite to form the Gnoerrgh Rukh Lloell (Anti-Rukh Coalition).

• 1097: Death of Rukh, in an assault on the Zhodani-claimed world of Khoeghersaeng. The nation continues, after a period of instability.
