Description (Specifications)
It is a relatively small K'kree state between the Gateway Sector and the Two Thousand Worlds.
- It is independent of the Two Thousand Worlds.
Goals
The Lords are a group of K'kree reactionaries who believe that mainstream K'kree society, also known as the Two Thousand Worlds, is not aggressive enough in its posture against meat-eating races.
History & Background (Dossier)
The Lords' call for an immediate crusade against meat-eaters has led to unresolved tensions in the Carmuur States and elsewhere in the galaxy spinward of the Two Thousand Worlds.
Government & Politics
The K'kree Lords of Thunder government is highly conservative, adhering to the ideals of K'kree Herd governance in what they see as its original form.
- For information on the forms of governments used in the Two Thousand Worlds, please see K'Kree or K'Kree (government).
Technology & Trade
The Lords of Thunder are not the most technologically-advanced power in Luretiir!girr, but are the most agressive.
- Some estimate that the average technology level of Lords of Thunder installations and outposts to be at least TL-9 to 11.
- And some doubt that the they have mastered any TL-14 or 15 technologies. However, many military analysts believe that the Lords of Thunder have purchased more advanced weaponry from arms merchants or have illicit connections in The Two Thousand Worlds.
- Nevertheless, the Lords of Thunder have built powerful space navies and still constitute a significant threat to more technologically-advanced powers including almost all of their regional neighbors. Only the Ka'ra Mandate and the Two Thousand Worlds are clearly superior technologically.
