History & Background (Dossier)
Leader: Rukh.
Rukh was not only an extremely charismatic leader but a skilled tactician and experienced raider. After uniting several corsair bands on Orra, Rukh gained a loyal following. Within five years he had amassed a large military force and ruled half the subsector, naming it after himself. A decade later his empire spanned four subsectors and consisted of nearly 30 worlds, becoming one of the major powers in Gvurrdon Sector.
Timeline
- 1064: Voullatueng taken by the Worlds of Leader Rukh; considered a strategic takeover. Voullatueng is actually one of several worlds to benefit from being conquered by Rukh.
- 1069: Several governments unite to form the Gnoerrgh Rukh Lloell (Anti-Rukh Coalition). The leaders of these six worlds in Spurl Subsector have no desire to become part of Rukh’s empire; with Rukh’s fleet spread over four subsectors the combined forces of the Coalition are able to defend their territories and maintain their independence from Rukh’s influence.
- 1070: The Rukh Aegz establishes a colony on Rushu, buying out the existing human settlements at a fair price.
- 1090: Capture of Dharrgkhaksuzarorrdzuer, formerly a border world. Riots and infighting overwhelme its capital city.
- 1097: Death of Rukh, in an assault on the Zhodani-claimed world of Khoeghersaeng. The nation continues, after a period of instability.
- 1112: A number of trade and forgery incidents between Rukh and the Zhodani Consulate forces six worlds to renounce their membership in Rukh and, backed by the Consulate, secede.
