Thueknorrurr is a barren world with no registered population or government. This world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left leaving behind the remnants of their civilization. It is a member of Ascendancy Pact in the Irrarrdhang Subsector of Knoellighz Sector.

  • This system hosts a Pact Naval Base for support of military starships.

Description / Astrography & Planetology

This world is a Dieback in that it has TL-10 equipment, structures, a Highport and a Downport. However, a nearby battle in 1099 at Unghkou (Knoellighz 1029) leaked over into Thueknorrur as a Corsair band cut supply lines to Ascendancy Pact Admiralty fleets engaged at the Battle of Unghkou against the combined forces of the Infinity League and the Zhodani Consulate from Yeplzhaf Subsector. The Corsairs, later named the Posthumous stormed the Highport, bombarded every ship trying to undock from the facility and laid waste to several orbital installations over the mainworld. Chemical weapons were used to slaughter the entire population with mop-up teams of merciless Corsairs following behind the poisonous clouds. Once the nearspace over the planet was secured, the Corsairs bombarded the Downport and then dusted it and the Startown with more chemical weapons, invisible and undetectable to the Vargr below.

In 1105, with the Battle of Ungkhou a forsaken stalemate, Theuknorrur is a Dieback world, Highport, a defunct attached Naval Base and littered with wreckage and debris forming a ring of metallic waste forming over six years. The remnant orbital platform was downgraded to a B Starport and the planetside community and Downport were similarly reduced. While the B-rating is based on equipment still on hand, there is no population to man the facilities. Visiting ships must service themselves for refueling and search the ruins for tools and parts to make repairs.

The Ascendancy Pact has been slow to fund a recovery and cleanup operation. With assets claiming worlds on its Coreward border, the Representatives continue to debate on the continued value of the Naval Base above Thueknorrurr. Salvage rights have already been denied to scavengers as the 'flag' technically still flies at the military installation and is registered property of the Admiralty who send patrols to clear out squatters and looters quarterly.

Thueknorrurr has two stars in the star system.

History and Background

By 1111, both the Highport and Downport are repopulated by the Ascendancy Pact and the Naval Base is brought back online when the Coreward progress of the polity is stymied by internal delays, debates and the hurdle of technologically superior Serue (Knoellighz 1221) and its trade-allies.
