Dumak


Type: New Republic headquarters.

Sector: Yaeger Sector.
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 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.)

Government: Ruled by the New Republic navy.

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.
