Rukadukaz Republic

Julian Protectorate

Present in: Amdukan, Antares, Arzul, Empty Quarter, Mendan, Stars End, Trenchans

The Rukadukaz Republic is one of the most influential members of the Protectorate, behind the Asimikigir Confederation and possibly the Commonwealth of Mendan. The vast majority of trade with the Imperial Domain of Antares] flows through the Republic, and the Imperial Division of the Menderes Corporations is based here.

The Republic is also the “front line” in the event of hostilities with the Imperium; there is no other Protectorate member state with as strong a permanent Star Legion presence as the Republic. This presence has provided a boost to the Republic’s shipbuilding industry; while in general, the high-tech and luxury ships built in the Protectorate are built by Vargr firms and yards in the Asimikigir Confederation, the shipyards of the Rukadukaz Republic are known for sturdy, absolutely reliable ships - when they can be obtained; it is not unusual for Rukadukaz shipyards to be concentrating on military contracts for either production or maintenance/overhaul.

The Rukadukaz Republic is one of the few Protectorate member states with a non-Irilitok majority among its Vargr; in fact, Irilitok Vargr are vanishingly rare in most of the Republic. Virtually all Vargr in the Rukadukaz Republic are Ovaghoun; there are a few communities of Logaksu and Urzaeng Vargr on the spinward edge of the Republic.
