Umkibarin


Type: Mild Terrestrial.
Function: Corporate headquarters.
Region: Border Regions.
Trade Route: Breakneck Run, and newly charted feeder to the Yaeger Central Path, the Suzerain Route.
Sector: Yaeger Sector.
Strategic Location: Just outside the Imperial sphere of influence.
Temperature: 95% Standard.
Atmosphere: Standard, with higher than average percentages of oxygen.
Hydrosphere: 61% of the surface of Umkibarin is covered in water, of which 95% has a salinity between 1% and 4%.
Gravity: 92% Standard.
Terrain: Rolling hills, large plain regions.
Mineral Resources: Some reserves of Uranium, Sapphire, and other corundum gems.
Length of Day: 24 Standard hours.
Length of Year: 350 Local days.
Sapient Species: The nomadic Uham'lian were the only inhabitants of the planet until recently, and they have been wiped out by a "pest control initiative" of the Suzerain Group.
Capital City: The Future 1 facility is the center of the corporations activities, and contains the offices of all it's top officers. Radthys Job's personal mansion is located nearby, and that can be defined as the actual locus of power for the corporation.
Other Cities: Twenty six other corporate facilities have been built on Umkibarin, with the four Future structures being the newest and largest of those.

Population (within +/- 1%): 13,580,900 (employees of the Suzerain Group).
Government: Corporate dictatorship. All the inhabitants of Rekhron are employees of the Suzerain Group, and Radthys Job holds 61% of the stock in that corporation. His word is law, with no possibility of appeal.

System Capsule:

Koba: Quite close to Linrius, this nearly completely molten world has very little to offer.
Arkul: Several native species subterranean species live on Arkul, and there is some evidence of earlier civilizations.
Umkibarin: See above.
Olbin: This exceedingly cold world is home to several Suzerain Group manufacturing facilities.
Jalu: There is apparently life beneath the ice sheets of Jalu, but as the Suzerain Group has decided against scientific exploration of it's system, there is no way of knowing anything about the life forms beneath the ice sheets.
Huminali: Just large enough to qualify as a planet, Huminali houses those manufacturing facilities that operate best in regions of no atmosphere and little gravity.
Ducha: A mid-sized gas giant, Ducha is a remarkable deep blue in color, and some of the compounds common in it's atmosphere are mined for use as dyes.
Ilus: At the very edge of reaching stellar mass, Ilus is home to several gas mining facilities.
Maalavin: The spectacular rings of Maalavin are home to several silicon based life forms.
Kabont: This small world's orbit destines it for collision with Maalavin in a mere two thousand years.
Lucia: Far distant from the center of the system, Lucia is home to the Suzerain Group's corporate security fighters, currently TIE fighters, but if the buyout of Lethe Yards succeeds, they will soon be replaced by Lethe Yards starfighters.

Planetary Capsule:

Flora and fauna: Defined primarily by vast areas of grassland, Umkibarin's ecosystem can be described as a relatively simple one, with the massive Hogay, the leaping Khordats, and the antelope like Ul feeding on the grasses and the lupine Orabin, the reptilian Khamru monitors, and the ursoid Hombrin feeding on the herbivores. The smaller creatures of the planet do have far more complex feeding habits and interactions, such as the web between several competing species of avians living symbiotically with the Hogay and the finger snakes, a predatory species that also makes it's home on the Hogay's back.

The human construction on Umkibarin has acted to change life on Umkibarin considerably. First of all, the magrails used to connect the various facilities have interrupted Hogay migrational paths, causing the numbers of Hogay to decline considerably. Secondly, a small colony of Thimuk, a weasel like scavenger common to interstellar port cities was accidently introduced in a cargo shipment, and since that time Thimuk have spread across the planet, pushing native creatures out of their niches and wreaking havoc with the local ecology.

Sentient Species: When Umkibarin was first discovered, the Uham'lian, a powerfully built native species with a bronze age culture where quite common, with nomadic tribes following the Hogay across the planet. At first ignored by the Suzerain group, the Uham'lian proved an annoyance, as they developed the habit of destroying sections of the magrails, to allow the Hogay a path to travel. A variant of Red Plague was introduced, and was followed up by a pair of other diseases, and within two years the Uham'lian were extinct. There are rumors of a population of Uham'lian in the most isolated regions of the planet, but these are not taken very seriously.

History: The Suzerain group was founded by Radthys Job, an owner of a small manufacturing firm who was invited to immigrate to the Yaeger Sector soon after the Empire first arrived. Put together with patience and ruthlessness, the Suzerain Group now controls a majority of the Imperium's privately owned manufacturing facilities, and is angling for a piece of some of those industries which the Imperium government has been running up until now. The Suzerain group is also working to become a multi-sectoral company, and has put in bids for starship construction yards and manufacturing facilities in neighboring sectors, including Lethe Yards, a young company that is making a bid to become a real player in the Starfighter market.

Job's decision to center his operation outside of Imperium space was based primarily on tax reasons, but is also an attempt to distance himself from the Imperium government, as he would love to be able to expand his operations into Yaeger and New Republic space. Once he made his decision to build his central facilities outside of Imperium space, he seized Umkibarin. Originally claimed by a small scouting firm and slated for development as an agricultural world, the firm soon found itself bought out, and the farmers that had already started work in the fertile soil of Umkibarin found themselves ejected. Since that time, the Suzerain group has begun development on several other worlds of the sector, as well as on several planets that the scouting firm held the rights to. Most of these worlds are outside of the large spheres of influence, as Job wants the majority of operations outside of Imperial space within twenty years.
