Description (Specifications)

The Ka'ra Mandate is a K'kree Client State which sits along the rim-spinward border of the Two-Thousand Worlds. Human and other trade expeditions wishing to circumvent the layered Client States of Gh!hken sector often approach the Two Thousand Worlds via the wastelands of Luretiir!girr. The Ka'ra Mandate is there to keep all but the most persistent and correctly prepared out of K'kree space.

The Ka'ra Mandate is shaped by the demands, the Mandate that created it, of the K'kree. The state is dominated by the Xaruah, a cheerfully subversive race of somewhat arthropoid sophonts, though there are several other sophont species native to the Mandate who play great or small roles as the Xaruah allow. The Navy of the Mandate knows its shipping lanes well, and is remarkably efficient at interdicting traffic both to and from the Two Thousand Worlds. Anyone caught without proper documents is hauled to one of the Mandate Worlds, inspected to a level rarely seen elsewhere, and given choices depending on the results of the inspection. Outsider ships are generally presented with the options to turn around (if they are so completely unprepared that they just don't belong anywhere near K'kree space), employ the Mandate's extensive brokerage services for K'kree goods THEN turn around, or accept (and pay for) the training and other adjustments necessary to survive even one encounter with actual K'kree and, if the Mandate deems them properly adjusted, proceed into K'kree space.

The Mandate provides no guaranty of outsider acceptance by the K'kree; they know the K'kree too well for that.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Ka'ra Mandate is considered the oldest of the K'kree Client States, formed shortly after the end of the K'kree war with the Hivers as new sophonts began to appear in their own starships from the wilderness to spinward. Selecting the Xaruah, a promising but controllable race of sophonts native to their spinward borders, the K'kree began a rapid technological bootstrap operation, ultimately charging the Xaruah to intercept the new threat before it reached the K'kree. The name of their state was taken directly from that charge, and the Xaruah continue to carry out their mandate into modern times.
