Strategic Location: At the outer edge of the
Imperial/Yaeger contested regions, Dumak has become the center of
the New Republic's sphere of influence.
Temperature: Warm.
Atmosphere: Breathable (type I), with larger than
average concentrations of oxygen and aromatic compounds.
Hydrosphere: Less than 6% of the surface of Dumak is
covered in water, of which 98% is of salinity 3% or lower.
Dumak has very limited subsurface water reserves.
Gravity: Normal.
Terrain: Unbroken plains cover the entire planet.
Mineral Resources: Very limited. The entire planetary
core seems to be formed of a glasslike semi-liquid with no known
uses, and the crust is little more than decomposed plants and
animal life, with some meteoric deposits.
Length of Day: 20 standard hours.
Length of Year: 325 local days.
Sapient Species: Humans, Koths.
Capital City: The New Republic has established a small
compound called Dumak Landing.
Other Cities: There are several ruined Imperial
garrisons on the planet that had been built over the remains of the
original Yaeger structures as per the orders of Moff Rulduk.
Starport: The entire surface of Dumak seems ideally
designed for landing starships, but the New Republic base has
recently installed a Landing Strip class Starport near it's
compound.
Population (within ñ 1%): 13,231 Humans, 745 Koths, and
assorted aliens associated with the base (12 Sulustians, 3 Mon
Calmari, etc.)
Planet Function: New Republic outpost, capital of their
Yaeger Sector presence.
Government: Ruled by the New Republic navy.
Tech Level: Standard New Republic military, though all
goods are imported.
Major Exports: None.
Major Imports: All goods are imported.

System Capsule:
Bikor: A fairly large planet, close to the sun. There is
some evidence that it had once been a populated planet further from
the sun, but when Limidus flared up to it's Giant state, Bikor had
been sterilized, and then dragged in after the collapsing sun.
Dumak: See above
Blirnoth: A very large gas giant, Blirnoth is nearly stellar
in size. Two of it's moons, Rikeen and Shore, are capable of
supporting life.
Planetary Capsule:
Flora and fauna: The entire planet (except for the
small oceans), is covered with a thick layer of a heather like
plant, called Rith. There are no large native fauna, with some
invertebrate and small mammals being the largest native creatures.
Sentient Species: The only native sentients of the
planet clearly aren't native. A small population of a primitive
insectivorous people, called the Koths dwells in small villages
near the polar regions the planet. the Koths apparently were
introduced from nearby Al-Geneb, where
much larger populations of the Koths live, supremely well adapted
to their environment. On Dumak, the most pressing problem they
face is starvation, as there are simply not enough creatures that
they can eat to keep a large population alive. In addition, it is
somewhat less humid an environment than the Koths are designed for,
and they have developed a fair number of diseases due to their poor
adaptability and to their shrinking gene pool.
The New Republic base is the location of the only other
sentient population, primarily human, but with a fair number of
members of other races.
History: Dumak doesn't have much of a history... yet.
About two thousand years ago, a population of Koths was released on
the planet by person or persons unknown. Around a thousand years
ago, the planet was claimed as an Ien Yaeger outpost, which it
remained until the Imperial attack. The Imperials captured the
world, and it remained in Imperial hands until the New Republic
attacked and claimed the world as it's own. The Yaeger do not
agree with that claim, as it had been their world for a lot longer,
and this is one of the points of conflict that are likely to emerge
between the Yaeger and the New Republic.
