Aziziyah is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Star Lane Subsector of Deneb Sector in the Domain of Deneb.

History & Background (Dossier)

Aziziyah is a non-industrial Imperial water world located in Star Lane Subsector of Deneb Sector.

Non-canon: Aziziyah is not a true high population world, but is included because it will become one in the next thirty years as a result of the Askigaak Abandonment. Before the Collapse, Aziziyah was populated by feuding mining and fishing communities. Despite a wealth of resources, conflicts between miners and fishermen often boiled over into low level wars over contending property and exploitation rights. None of these conflicts ever escalated beyond pushing and shoving, and the Third Imperium showed little interest in the world. The locals lived in scattered island communities of a few hundred people each, posting heavily armed mercenary guards to prevent raids by their neighbors.

After the Collapse the locals created a unified government, and began to solicit closer ties with nearby worlds. It exported most of its ore to Askigaak for processing, and a close relationship blossomed between the two worlds. This relationship culminated in negotiations completed in 1197 that would make Aziziyah a colony of the more heavily populated Askigaak, and allow more living space for 'Gaak citizens. In 1201 the first work crews arrived to begin construction of several new underwater arcologies that will hold some ten million people when they are completed by 1209.
