Gnoengoezvik is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by Vargr sophonts located in the Position D Subsector of Kharrthon Sector.

Mainworld Data[edit]
Gnoengoezvik has an A-rated Beltport. The system is an Asteroid world. With no atmosphere or water, a population of Vargr without government and very low law level and very high technology level weathered the Empress Wave. There are no other spaceports in the system. This world features and M6 III red giant and a K6 V orangeish, main sequence star slightly cooler than the Sun. Also, the system is home to four Gas Giants. The mainworld holds the trade classifications of Asteroid (As)and Low Population (Lo). The system has no travel restrictions and no travel zone label. There are six worlds in the local stellar cluster.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Gnoengoezvik (Kharrthon 2601) A000202-F As Lo {1} (G11+0) [436E] M6 III – K6 V 4 GG 0 Belts 9 Other Worlds VaNa in the 1105 consists almost entirely of Urzaeng Vargr Relict clones. Gnoengoezvik was rated as A000000-F As Di {1} (G00+0) [000E] VaNa as at one point the Asteroid world’s population had indeed died off for a period of five years. That changed with the pre-set Model/9 computer timers triggered the iteration of its new population of 126 Relict Clones, 10 sane Psions and 4 psionic mental patients.
Of the original 400 population, 260 Vargr evacuated 10 per outbound ship in cabins and Low Berths. Inside the remaining 140 population, 14 Psions wearing Psi-Shield-15 helmets were laid down, into Low Berth, cryo-sleep and vaulted inside Psi-shielded and locked compartments, (all survived but only ten were fully judged ‘sane’ upon awakening). 126 normal citizens chose Relicts aside from the six “conscientious objectors” who chose death by refusing the Relict clone process. These six were later termed Sentinels. 120 personalities were brain-scanned for Relict clone iteration crossing. 20 x 6 rows of cryo-capsules held inert, Fast-Grown Relicts on an 11-year timer. Twenty Vargr felt the need to believe they were transiting to new bodies. These were called “the believers”. Their scans were done as the person stepped through a virtual portal in a constructed, computer space.
The Empress Wave struck Gnoengoezvik (Kharrthon 2601) in the year 1074. Eleven years afterwards, 120 Relict clones were iterated when a computer timer initiated the awakenings.
In the year 1074, Gnoengoezvik suffered 75% losses to its pattern donor population resulting from the madness of the Empress Wave. The remaining 25% slowly perished from lack of breathable air and drinking water. Personal logs at the Beltport were later recovered to confirm the losses. The Relict clones were not wakened until the year 1085. The clones then proceeded with previous instructions and training to waken the 14 psions encapsulated in the local, shielded vault. A final census was taken and resulted in 134 persons. All 120 corpses of the original pattern donors were counted and properly mourned.
At the passing of the Empress wave, mothballed vessels were removed from shipyard storage and recommissioned. In the same year, Scout and merchant ships were dispatched to Rroezuegz (Kharrthon 2602) on a mission to replenish badly-needed food and water in exchange for technological expertise and tools needed to jumpstart that world.
The first interstellar ship to visit Gnoengoezvik in 1086 was from Dufakokhssok (Veg Fergakh 3039) A68A753-B, (A68A653-B after the Wave’s devastation). The newcomers were shocked upon first contact that the original belters had used their technology to iterate clones past the effects of the Empress Wave. Only the local psions were not Relicts and only ten of the fourteen remained sane enough to not require treatment or euthanasia. Much diplomacy between the visitors from Dufakokhssok and the three-Vargr, Gnoengoezvik Emissary team was held behind closed doors to minimize the social stigma.
In 1085, the Gnoengoezvik minimal population kept to the A-rated Beltport they had inherited from their pattern parent donors. The first efforts undertaken were to secure the facility and shipyards. Then came recommissioning Scout and merchant ships. Six months after awakening, the Gnoengoezvik system had been resurveyed to confirm that all planetary bodies had continued their projected revolutions. Eleven years had passed since the Empress Wave had struck. With help from Model/9 computers that had been set to awaken them, Gnoengoezvik functionally restarted their society and industry.
With new trade contracts from Dufakokhssok and its stellar cluster, the Vargr from Gnoengoezvik struck outward to the first world in its own cluster that could help sustain their need for food and water. That world was Rroezuegz, itself coming up from the madness of the Empress Wave and its aftereffects. Though this world knew of cloning, their Tech Level had threatened to slip into a mass production age from the information age it was accustomed. Thus, through ignorance, the Relict clones of Gnoengoezvik managed to secure a line of trade and credit with this Agricultural and planet-locked world. Weather and communication satellites were offered in exchange for permission to collect food shipments sent Coreward to Gnoengoezvik.
In the year 1089, Gnoengoezvik made contact with Kogvuengu (Kharrthon 2401) D779469-5 which their charts and history divulged was home to a very small cadre of Corsair ships. The Population digit on Kogvuengu had dropped as a result of losses over the madness years of the Empress Wave. This world had been a corporate acquisition of a Vargr company headquartered at Rroudzifen (Kharrthon 2103) B470526-A. There had been no contact from their owning world since. Arriving at Kogvuengu, the Relict clones found that the locals had neither the means or the knowledge to jumpstart the pirate vessels. In exchange for oaths to use them only for mercantile needs, Gnoengoezvik helped reinvigorate the relic starships. Kogvuengu was warned that their local Downport had neither the means nor the Vargr to conduct piracy in a cluster of worlds that would not sustain such criminal activity.
Gnoengoezvik captured the vessels left in hangars at the Naval Bases of Oeghzgnong and Ifekhorerrer (Kharrthon 2402 and 2502 respectively). Both worlds were Die Back (Di) graveyards, one from before the Empress Wave and the other from the phenomenon directly. The military frigates, corvettes, and cruisers were flown home with skeleton crews and added to the system defense at Gnoengoezvik. It was on the sand dunes of Ksoesue (Kharrthon 2603) that the greatest number of Urzaeng Vargr were discovered dead of thirst. The Corsair Base in-system had only spacecraft, its starships having crashed into the dunes of the mainworld as the Wave took over the pirate vessels. Gnoengoezvik made use of the quiet but serviceable Downports of each world in its stellar cluster. In 1092, the Relict clones salvaged and upgraded starships from the A-rated Downport and Naval Base at Vaevasagh (Kharrthon 2904) A651304-C, (originally Lo Po but A651000-C Di Po upon rediscovery). This form of secondhand starship acquisition saved Gnoengoezvik from immediate need for construction of new vessels until shipyard automation was brought online.
In this way, the Relict Clones of Gnoengoezvik dominated their stellar cluster before the turn of the year 1100. To meet rising demand in task resolution, the clones turned to vargriform robots kept at a Modified TL-13, an equivalent but cheaper version of TL-15 robots. The robots helped with programed tasks, projects and various Beltport services.
Collector-2 Drives empower Jump-2 merchant ships from Gnoengoezvik while Scouts continue to rely on Modified Jump-4 ratings to reach other stellar clusters and conduct diplomacy and business.
Currently in 1105, there is a polite debate and legal dispute between Gnoengoezvik and Kifaeghuedz (Kharrthon 2607) A355576-C Ag Ni VaNa whether Vargr clones can and should be allowed the status of subsector Capital (Cs) of Subsector D of Kharrthon Sector. The Relict clones of Gnoengoezvik argue that the Balkanized Kifaeghuedz is not ready to assume the mantle. As of 1105, the subsector is still without a clear subsector Capital.
World Starport[edit]
Gnoengoezvik has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport. The Starport of an Asteroid world is termed a Beltport.
World Technology Level[edit]
Gnoengoezvik possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Meson Communicators and Pseudo Reality Communications.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, improved collectors, and advanced Fusion+.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land & Water: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Air: Advanced gravcraft and speeders.
- Space: Advanced gravcraft and G-Carriers.
- FTL: Jump Drive-6.
- Gnoengoezvik sits on TL-15 which is Technical Imperial Maximum. The world is non-aligned and Vargr-dominated (VaNa). Survival needs required a very high technological foundation. It is unknown from where this belter world obtained such vaulted tech level. Other than Kueghakhe (Kharrthon 1619), Gnoengoezvik is the most technologically advanced world in the sector. There are no TL-14 worlds in Kharrthon.
World Government[edit]
Gnoengoezvik has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
