History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Waikhta is a colony claimed by Hkurlei, a claim violently contested at times. The world is remote, making a direct challenge difficult, so most attempts to gain control have been indirect. Economic or political pressure is common but sometimes a clan will engineer a dispute and attempt to inflict a defeat, so resources or lands can be demanded as part of the settlement process.
