Ohy, Shipped to Oh H*ll

Here is the official denial that Ohy is a "dumping ground" for misbehaving soldiers: "While it is true that some soldiers routed to Ohy on tours of duty have been involved in less than stellar behavior, it is not true that duty on Ohy is considered punishment." It is interesting though, that slang for duty on Ohy is "Shipped to Oh H*ll."

Occasionally, civilians do manage to find their way into areas not generally permitted.

Our intrepid and wandering artist, Nim, sent us this message recently:
Here is the Ohy outpost. Had to do some sneaking around so they didn't catch me. Sorry it took so long to send the file. NETway was giving me grief over the size but in the end money helps people see your point of view. Since I changed my encryption, they didn't even know what kind of file I sent. It sure pays to have friends on Tarth who are in the "market."

Notidisia, Partner of the Empire

Initial scans revealed an unattractive planet with no sign of life. However, when the Conqueror's Droid Discovery Force landed on the planet in 4650 tradestandard in search of minerals and other natural resources, they found a highly advanced civilization.

Clouds of swirling gases that make it appear to be a gas giant are illusions. The inhabitants of Notidisia are peace loving, and work together in a cohabitation of fisheries and aqua-farming.

Click planet and tour images to open full-sized in another window.

Since first contacted by the empire, Notidisia has been accused repeatedly of rebel activity -- as yet unproven.

The inhabitants are human, and have a common language base called Skirikk.
The planet has a treaty with the Tarthian Empire, pays tribute to it, and is a full partner. The Governor of Notidisia holds a special seat in the Imperial Parliament. The last five governors have been beheaded by the Conqueror for serious infractions, and a sixth was imprisoned for an attack on one of the Conqueror's Jades.

The governor was eventually released and ordered to leave the empire.

Each governor has a life-sized statue erected to him or her, lining the walkway to the Notidisia Governor's Throne Room. Each statue had its head removed by order of the Conqueror as a reminder to the new Governor as to where loyalties should be aligned.

Notidisia's four moons all have important tactical locations and are used for mining.

The world has a strong naval fleet, and is known for its fishing. It exports sea food and related products, as well as water purification technology.

The All People's Liberation Army (APLA) is rumored to have its headquarters on Notidisia.

Niric, Under Colonization

(Journal continued...)
As you can see, most of the buildings slide into place after the base is built. To the left of the ship is a greenhouse that has raised a forest and to the right is a deep-core mining operation. Valuable resources for the fledgling city come from not only the ship but also the planet's crust.

In the background, LRC-11246 (Long range colony) is making its scheduled landing after a year of preparation. There are over two hundred ships like these which will land over the next ten years. After I've taken in the sights, I'm booked on a sleepliner to Kyrenie.

Mjuka, A Cloned Original

There are five moons, all too small to be of significant importance either for colonizing, raw material, or tactical location. Mjuka remains pristine and has one of the clearest atmospheres in the Old Empire sector. It was the first world to be duplicated by the Terraformer's Circle of Fellowship. However, New Mjuka does not have the same clarity in its atmosphere and is under study to correct the defect.

Recent reports of shapeshifting cat/humanoids have surfaced here, but there are no verified sightings. Like Drated, this has been considered a hoax.

Kyrenie, World of Firestorms

Her Majesty the Conqueror, Empress Rheyn Destoiya has recently given her personal attention to the problem and as part of her mandate for better conditions, passed the Khyff Law. Signed into legislation in 4662 tradestandard (at the end of the book At the Mercy of Her Pleasure), it requires slavemasters to educate the children under their care. Government contracts are not given to any company whose slaves cannot pass a basic literacy test and a tradestandard physical. The law honors Khyff Antonello.

Until recently, no one had ever seen a firestorm up close or holofilmed one of the instantaneous orbs of lightning that melt sand and fuse it into fire crystal. The electromagnetic pulse unleashed by a firestorm disrupts all power around it.

However, an old technology used in a new way by adapting wafers of the fire crystals themselves has now made it possible to capture the first images. Using this new technology will enable scientists to study the age-old question of why and how the firestorms are created. Kyrenie fire crystals range from clear to the finest quality ice blue. Their cost is far beyond diamonds.

As soon as a pit cools enough to enter, miners go in after the crystals, which have technological uses as well as decorative. Because adult slaves cannot stand up inside the mines, miners are all under age ten. Due to the rugged working conditions, child slaves are worked only two hours at a time, with four-hour rest periods between.

However, unscupulous slavemasters have been known to keep child slaves laboring half a day in dim light reflected from uncut gems. As soon as an improperly run child labor camp is identified, it is shut down by the Tradestandard Labor Board. Unfortunately, another usually pops up elsewhere before the day is out.
