Arkiirkii is an important, rich water world located on the Rim Main within Harlequin Subsector of the Solomani Rim. The system is a member of the Imperium and contains both a Naval Base and a Way Station. Arkiirkii is the subsector capital and the seat of Duke Dmitri hault-Fionbrea.

Arkiirkii is a resonant world, rotating three times every two orbits, producing extreme tides and violent weather. The system was settled by the Vilani during the First Imperium and retained its culture during the Solomani period. Arkiirkii society is a rigid and highly disciplined class-based system that developed out of the safety requirements required for living in relatively fragile underwater cities. Arkiirkii is a hotbed of Vilani nationalism and has instituted anti-Solomani policies.
