Not to be confused with Ershur/Kerr (Massilia 0504).
A poor, heavily industrialized, high-population Imperial member world that is the subsector capital of Kerr Subsector of Massilia. Ranking nobility include a Duke, Count, and Knight.
Kaggushus is a cool world orbiting a gas giant. It's about the size of Mars, but denser. The atmosphere is thin with a sulphur taint. A broad, hazy ring system circles Kaggushus itself.
The original Vilani population occupied the lowland territory bordering the one major ocean. During the Rule of Man, immigrants from Terra's mountain regions and other thin atmosphere environments settled the highlands across the rest of the world.
The world held a crucial historical role in the Rule of Man period. Emperor Hiroshi II transferred all governmental functions from both Vland and Dingir to Kaggushus, which was more centrally located in Massilia sector. The world was renamed bilingually Hub/Ershur and was to remain the capital of the Rule of Man for the next four hundred years.
In -1776 the Treasury at Hub/Ershur refused to honor a monetary issue of the branch treasury at Antares. The resulting lack of confidence within monetary circles marked the end of large-scale interstellar trade and of effective governmental power within the Rule of Man. This event is generally cited by historians as marking the beginning of Twilight.
During the Long Night, the world eventually reverted to its old name Kaggushus.
Kaggushus is considered one of the more important world of the Third Imperium, but has played only a minor role in its history.
After the Civil War, the Nolanar-Ahiiki line was granted the title of Count of Kaggushus. The counts are ex officio rulers of the Kaggushus system.
