History & Background (Dossier)

The Second Bhunj Exclusion persisted in some form through nearly half of the Long Night before its light guttered and went out, leaving Bhunj communities on a number of worlds in this region of Fornast. Their presence helped Shumduur rise to prominence in the later Long Night, setting the world up to become a significant power once the Third Imperium swept across the sector.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Shumduur, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial subsector duke, who also conducts affairs regarding the entire subsector at the Interstellar and Imperial level.
