Population

The world is notable as the homeworld of the diplomatic Yafizethe, a Minor Race. Except for interstellar workers, the population is made up of the Yafizethe. The Yafizethe have recently completed the consolidation of their world from a number of competing states. The long unification process resulted in a class of skilled diplomats, negotiators and lawyers, collectively called peacemakers, whose skills are useful on the interstellar scene.

Lurent planetoid ships may be found in the system’s Oort clouds.

Non-canon

Kemal is a very rich world, thanks to its prodigious output of agricultural products that it exports to Askigaak. The higher surface temperatures and local soils are very suitable for fast growing crop strains, and in the course of a normal year local farmers can produce three or four crops. Since it is the only world in Star Lane with a sizeable food surplus, Askigaak is heavily dependent upon it to supplement and ameliorate the mostly fungal or vatgrown food its citizens subsist upon. Naturally, local farmers charge premium prices via long-term contracts that lock Askigaak into an oligopolistic pattern.

The money that Kemal earns is well invested, and the local standard of living is higher than the low listed tech level would otherwise imply. Because of Askigaak's dominance in their economy, Kemalians spend most of their leisure time immersed in that world's arcane politics, and actually makes some attempt to influence events on that world. In the past the locals have done some outrageous things, and they usually appear even to their neighbors to be hicks who are aspiring to a level way above their proper station. Nonetheless Kemal's Solomani population understands Askigaak's insular Vilani culture better than any other world in the subsector, and often helps smooth over ruffled feathers. In recent years the population has come under the influence of the Shui-he movement on nearby Shen-Yang and the local culture is begining to alter in a fundamental way.
