Anghikh Subsector

The Anghikh Subsector has an estimated population in 1202 of approximately 146 million, a decline of 99.6% from its Pre-Collapse population. Koudhgzaen has the highest population (90 million) while Nogh has the highest tech level rating (9). The Anghikh subsector had an estimated population in 1120 of approximately 35.1 billion. Its highest population was 20 billion at Anghikhwhich also had the highest tech level (15).

Subsector Notes:

Virus hit this subsector especially hard. The infected fleets from Kaegrogz plowed through the area leaving death and destruction in their wake. Worlds with organics were a scourge and needed to be reduced in numbers if not completely eradicated.

Dhotsaeng (112) was ignored by the Kaegrogz Fleets. It is assumed that it was too small a target. They have managed to keep their ships running by occasionally foraging through the ruins of Ghoghzsorgh (212) for equipment. With such a small gene pool (711 inhabitants in 1200), long term survival will require an influx of fresh DNA. It is unaminously agreed that a more aggressive search for other survivors is in order.

Nogh (119) is arguably the most intact world in the subsector (C starport TL 9). Occasionally, a ship will travel to Zadz (120) to trade in a few goods and raw materials but this is extremely limited as Zadz's starport was destroyed and the tech level has been knocked down to 4. Nogh's other neighbor, Oughdzak (219), was rendered lifeless.

At first, Rataetaenrar (216) suffered only moderate losses. The orbital starport was destroyed but the downport remained intact. Recoverable tech level thanks to the forethought of the technocracy was down to about 9. After the Vampire attacks died down, a few ships were sent out to check the status of Rataetaenrar's closest neighbors: Koudhgzaen (115), Uedzaell (416), and the subsector capital, Anghikh (415). They found only destruction. A second expedition was sent out to explore further but never returned. All further explorations were cancelled. The technological decline continued as society fragmented into numerous tribes. The starport is run by a tribe of engineers and technicians who feel that it is their purpose in life to keep it running for the day when starfarers return. In the meantime, the knowledge is passed down from one generation to the next.

Anghikh (415) was a crown jewel in the former Empire of Varroerth. Like Kaegrogz, they too were under orders to begin expansion. Corsairs in the area were enlisted and encouraged to raid the rimward worlds to soften them up. It was while the Anghikh fleet was amassing that Virus struck and turned the big ships guns on the world below.

Uedzaell (416) always relied on outside support to keep their starport going. When the supply ships stopped coming in they began to run out of replacement parts and materials. The downport lost its usefulness as it became nothing more than just a large building with a large cement field. The settlements continue to be near the North Pole, where moisture can be collected during the long nights of winter. The "tainted" atmospheric rating is due to the sandstorms which plague the planet.

The corsairs at Ughfangkhoeg (419) have become the "official" government of their world. They've managed to keep the downport functional. A couple of forays to Khaghdaeksong (418) have been helpful for spare parts. [1]
