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.
Starport: The Vision 3 facility is a planetary class
port, and Radthys's mansion is also equipped with a limited
services port.
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.
Tech Level: High Space. The Suzerain group is in the
business of manufacturing components for a wide variety of Imperial
technologies, and are thus as advanced as possible when it comes to
everyday appliances.
Major Exports: New designs, corporate leadership.
Major Imports: Raw materials, manufactured goods,
luxury items, employees.

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.
