Description (Specifications)

Vargr interstellar state.

Corruption is common; bribes are made to officials to avoid certain taxes, and charismatic individuals can talk their way out of most potential problems and fees. Uprisings are also common, though usually quelled by the military before they gain too much support. To reduce any dissident movements within the military, soldiers are paid and treated well.

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 overwhelm 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.
