Yaeger Prime


Type: Terrestrial forest.
Function: Contested world.
Region: Border Regions.
Trade Route: Yaeger Central Path, Long Path.
Sector: Yaeger sector.
Strategic Location: At the edge of the Empire's sphere of influence in the Yaeger sector.
Temperature: 101% Normal, with somewhat colder winters than normal for planets in that range.
Atmosphere: Breathable, with somewhat above average CO2 percentages.
Hydrosphere: 38% of Yaeger Prime is covered with water. It has two major oceans, one of which (the Kuyalis sea) is far more saline than the other (the Herlmluft sea), having average salinities of 11% and 3% respectively.
Gravity: 106% normal.
Terrain: The terrain of Yaeger prime is remarkably varied, with bitter cold windswept mountains on the poles, wide bands of volcanic activity, towering mountain ranges both quite ancient and fairly recent, canyon riddled badlands, vast flatland regions, and chains of coral islands.
Mineral Resources: Yaeger Prime is quite rich in mineral resources, with substantial reserves of native gold, silver, iron, and copper, as well as large deposits of more exotic compounds, such as Buridium, Nanotypain, and Tripotash crystal.
Length of Day: 25 Standard hours.
Length of Year: 343 Local days.
Sapient Species: Huthor, Dimmamyuk.
Capital City: Doran City is the capital of the Imperial occupation, but the much older Jorthu Yaeg is the traditional capital of the planet, and of the Yaeger Nation as a whole.
Other Cities: Yaeger Prime has a large number of urbanized areas, with two major population centers being Jorthu El Kos, and Tungar City. Jilkaroth was once the second largest city of Yaeger Prime, before it was destroyed.
Starport: Both Doran City and Jorthu Yaeg have galaxy class starports, though Jorthu Yaeg's port has been closed since the founding of Doran City. There are numerous planetary and landing strip class starports elsewhere on the planet, including the near planetary class port of the secret Yaeger military base of Prime Landing.
Population (within +/- 1%): 2,710,498,000 humans, 48,920 Huthor, 23,040,900 Dimmamyuk.
Government: Imperial Occupation, though it's grasp on the locals is extremely weak, especially on the Huthor population, who are not challenged at all in their home territories, and seldom fired upon when they leave that range. Human and Dimmamyuk locals are technically subject to the usual sort of repressive imposed rule of Imperial occupation, but in reality it has proven rather difficult to control the locals, due to the incomplete Imperial grasp on the planet, and the local's general competence in combat. For this reason, Imperial control is extremely tight in the areas of highest urban concentration, but the more rural areas, and the low income urban areas are free for most of the time, but are subject to the occasional Imperial sweep.
Tech Level: High Space, for both the Imperial occupying force and the Yaeger. The Dimmamyuk are at a low space level, and the Huthor reject all technology.
Major Exports: High tech manufactured goods, Minerals, and other materials are being harvested by the Empire, Tripotash Crystals are smuggled off world by the Yaeger.
Major Imports: Imperial troops and occupation personnel, Yaeger Ranger and Kommando units, mechanical components, high technology.
System: Cothorian
Star: Cothor (Mid sized yellow)

System Capsule:

Jakru: Fairly close to the sun, Jakru is rich in numerous minerals, and the graveyard of numerous speculative mining operations.
Yaeger Prime: See Below.
Yaeger Secundus: Home to numerous played out mines and massive dunes, Yaeger Secundus is under the same sort of occupation as Prime.
Yaeger Tertius: This high temperature world is home to a remarkably hostile planet wide jungle. Yaeger troops went through exposure training here before the occupation, and it is still home to a few concealed monitoring stations, though the planet is subject to occasional Imperial fighter flybys.
Luthic: Home to several forms of native megafauna, Luthic is not inhabited by sentients of any type.
Athric: This very large planet has a spectacular series of rings, with high ferric and cuprous values giving the rings their characteristic red and green color.

Planetary Capsule:

Flora and fauna: Yaeger Prime is noted for its thick and varied forest cover, which is fed by the planet's proximity to its sun, it's high water reserves, and the large deposits of necessary trace minerals. From the Northern Taiga to the equatorial rainforests to the badlands scrubs, Yaeger Prime is covered with forests of different types. All in all, scientists identify thirty major woodland types on Yaeger Prime, each with several subdivisions. Because of the great diversity of life on Yaeger Prime, it is hard to identify any particular species as being particularly important overall; The Great Boar is far and away the most important creature of the badlands scrub, but it is seldom found out of forests of that type, while the Sampan Fangface is the terror of the mangrove, and can't survive out of that range. Suffice it to say, the planet is home to a vast array of flora and fauna, both beautiful and highly deadly.

Sentient Species: Yaeger Prime is home to three sentient races, the Humans, the Huthor, and the Dimmammyuk. At first, constant conflict between the three races was the rule of life on the planet, but eventually common ground was reached in their shared culture, and eventually a series of treaties ended this warfare, and the three races currently have very high opinions of each other.

History: Yaeger Prime, as the homeworld of the Yaeger nation, has an exceedingly long and rich history. The first human settlement in the sector was on Yaeger Prime, then called Cothoria. These settlers gradually lost contact with the old Republic due to the remote nature of the sector, and a local hyperspace anomaly that prevented any form of radio communication over hyperspace. The last ship that left to the Old Republic left in Y 230, and by Y 3,000 the Old Republic had become nothing more than a shadowy myth.

During this time, the humans of Cothoria began to expand out across the planet, and soon came into contact with the other sapient creatures of the planet, the Huthor and the Dimmamyuk. Highly influenced by the predatory, catlike Huthor, the humans began to refer to themselves as Ien Yaeger, a term meaning "the hunters" in the local language. After several decades of brutal warfare among the three races, the Treaty of Miranon was signed in Y 450, and has stood until the present day, regulating interaction between the three races.

Inter-stellar travel, a secret that had been lost around Y 350, during the three races war, was rediscovered in Y 1,215. The Yaeger humans quickly expanded from their homeworld, renamed Yaeger Prime in Y 1,307. Once the Yaeger expanded off of Prime, mining operations slowed down in intensity, allowing substantial reserves to remain to this day. Yaeger Prime remained the home of the larger manufacturing firms, and to many Yaeger citizens. Many individuals that grew up in the colonies retired to Prime after they made their fortune, and many colonists retained title in their stake in Prime for as long as they could, leading to a planet whose human inhabitants were either wealthy, or absentee landholders, and the land values of the areas allocated to humans gradually rose, as the Yaeger expanded to more and more planets.

Unable to afford the land required to expand, and faced with a prohibitively high cost of living, industry gradually moved off Prime to the colonies. Yaeger Prime remained a world dedicated to rich estates and the mechanics of government for quite a while, until social centers gradually moved to the now rich colony worlds. As the cost of living approached normal, industry returned to Yaeger Prime, specifically the Yaeger Yards Starport, and related technology firms. Some farming and animal husbandry had remained throughout on the great estates, and remained to supply luxury food items, such as Jujir steaks and Yaeger Yellow wine. However, most staple food was imported, at first from hybrid grain producers such as Minrell, Lothos, and Epis and later from the fungi mines of Gugimar and Kimij.

During the Yrotha War, and later the Skathelon War, Yaeger Prime was a military target of great importance, and had built up a formidable planetary defence net, as well as a number of concealed fortresses and strongholds on the planets surface, many of which remain today. Due to the strong Skathelon presence, and later the Pangritai presence, expansion of the Yaeger tended to take place in the opposite direction, leaving Yaeger Prime at the edge of the Yaeger sphere of influence. Realizing the danger posed by this border position, Yaeger Yards moved the bulk of their operations to Omriar, a world closer to the center of the Yaeger sphere, while maintaining several smaller shipyards on Prime.

When the Imperial war with the Yaeger began, Moff Doran saw Yaeger Prime as the center of Yaeger power, and he felt that if he were to capture Prime, the rest of the sector would quickly fall. The Yaeger central command realized that their fleet could not survive a full engagement, and therefore the Gii Yaeg, the governing body of the Yaeger, was evacuated from Prime almost as soon as the war with the Empire began. The Yaeger fleet fought a typical rearguard action over Prime, losing the field of battle, but inflicting far greater damage on the foe then they themselves endured. Despite their capture of the Cothorian system, the planet itself has proven a somewhat harder nut to crack. Millennia of defensive construction combined with tenacious native wildlife and the determined local defenders caused the conquest of Prime to drag on and on, to end in the incomplete occupation described in the Government section, a state that Prime remains in.

When Moff Doran was killed at Oth'Lenar, the planet fell under the control of Admiral Jithron, and then Moff Rulduk. Despite the change in power, the nature of the Imperial presence has remained fairly constant, as Rulduk plans to make the removal of the Imperial presence on Prime a significant event, and he also wants it to take place on his own timetable. However, the resurgent Yaeger Nation is threatening a military takeover of Prime, something that Rulduk would have to work at to turn to his own advantage.
