Akludu (Magyar 0902 B568669-A). Agricultural, Non-Industrial, Rich. An important Solomani Confederation world located in the Urartu Cluster in Eery subsector. Terran emigres established a major colony on Akludu by -2000, naming the world Aabida. The Terrans were joined by Aslan ihatei sometime before -1000, and the world has maintained an Aslan population ever since. Following the Solomani Rim War the Confederation has resettled thousands of Aslan from Dark Nebula to Akludu, where “Integration Schools” help assimilate them to Solomani life. Akludu lies on an intermediate trade route between Parade (Daibei 0940 A5458AA-C) and Xian (Magyar 1103 B7B48DC-9). The world is under military rule, controlled by the Confederation Army, and hosts a Confederation joint naval and army base. Recruits drawn from resettled Aslan serve in Army posts across the spinward theater of the Confederation.
Dal (Magyar 0202 F10086A-A) [Secondary World]. The solitary large moon of Wu (Magyar 0203 B66A99A-E), orbiting the mainworld at an average distance of 170,783 km with an orbital period of 12.12 standard days. Dal has a population of 743 million and is an important production center for power plants, jump drives, and maneuver drives. The Wuan Technology Association maintains a major research station on Dal for development of advanced materials. Confederation Naval Base Sereniti, located on a military reservation on the far side of Dal, is the headquarters for the Urartu Cluster Fleet. Sereniti Base has a modest orbital component at the Wu-Dal L2 point, and is the home port of the 53rd FleetRon and 19th CarrierRon. A co-located Army base on Dal supports the Solomani 44th Grav Tank Corps. The Confederation Army conducts protected forces training on the moon’s surface.
Greenvald (Magyar 0504 B864695-A). Agricultural, Non-Industrial, Rich. An important Solomani Confederation world located in the Urartu Cluster in Eery subsector. The habitable mainworld is locked into a resonant orbit with the system’s M1 V primary, Novisad, at a distance of approximately 35.9 million km. Terran emigres established a major colony on Greenvald by -2000, naming the world Novisad I. Several feeder and minor trade routes converge on Greenvald, which also hosts a Confederation joint naval and army base.

hkyadwaeh. A mildly intoxicating beverage, exceedingly popular among the Aslan and far preferred by them over alcohol. Humans call the beverage bitter-root tea, after its taste, or muleskick tea, after its observed effect on Aslan who drink it. Hkyadwaeh is derived from the hkyao plant, a fairly common shrub found on several worlds of the Hierate, most notably Kualakhtaea, a secondary world of Ayeiyfua (Dark Nebula 0311 E100643-8). The beverage is brewed by steeping dried hkyao roots in boiling water, and when consumed by Aslan is about as strong as beer or ale on a Human system. A large number of specific blends and brews exist. Hkyadwaeh is a common cargo within Hierate space, though virtually no market exists outside the Hierate except among extrahierate Aslan. Humans find hkyadwaeh rather bitter and unpalatable, though a few individuals have learned to drink it without betraying their distaste.
monoblade. A light, one-handed polymer bladed weapon with a monofilament edge, a cutting edge just one molecule thick created by spinning a single-molecule strand.
Sharn (Magyar 0601 A7568BG-C) [Amber Zone]. Garden World, Pre-Agricultural, Pre-High Population, Puzzle. A member of the Wuan Technology Association, located in the Urartu Cluster in Clan subsector. Terran emigres established a major colony on Sharn by -2000, naming the world Choan; Wu was originally settled by colonists from Sharn. The world is located on an intermediate trade route connecting Association worlds to Daibei. The highport and the large shipyards attached to it are owned and operated by Optimum Heavy Industries, a Wuan corportation concentrating on starship construction. Even for a Wuan world, Sharn is infamous for the rigidity and conformity of its society. Sharn has one of the highest per capita production outputs in the entire sector, and any deviations are quickly rooted out and corrected by the oppressive clone government of the High Sharn Administrator.
Shrine of Heroes. A traditional space found in Aslan homes, factories, or starships where Aslan meditate on and gain confidence from the deeds and philosophies of their ancestors. This “ancestor worship” is the closest thing the race has to a religion. The Shrine is typically a small, private room, draped in tapestries and decorated with scenes of conquest.
Shuttle. One of the most common small craft seen in Charted Space, designed to carry passengers and cargo from orbit to surface and back again, as well as act as an interplanetary transport. A shuttle uses a 95-ton hull, is capable of 3g acceleration, carries 1 ton of fuel, and has a crew of one. It may have one fixed mount. The standard computer for the shuttle is the Model/1. It can carry eight passengers and has 67 tons of excess space, and costs MCr15.147.
Treakhouaia. An extrahierate Aslan clan, formerly dominant in the Akuusir Cluster following the Peace of Ftahalr in 380. The Treakhouaia had been exiled from the Hierate during the Cultural Purge for having become too familiar with humans, relaxing roles between the sexes and settling differences through legal arbitration rather than combat. The Treakhouaia came to dominate the worlds along the lucrative Wu-Kusyu route, including Colcan and Fonfado, and also had holdings on Dengmi, Wang, and Satwor. Following defeat in the Rim War and the loss of Terra, the Solomani Confederation began absorbing worlds of the Akuusir Cluster in 1041. The Treakhouaia clan at first tried to negotiate, then accommodate, and finally assimilate, though with generally unsatisfactory results. Many Treakhouaia holdings were seized by the Solomani under various legal pretenses and the inhabitants resettled to Akludu in Magyar sector. Today, most of the Aslan encountered in Akuusir subsector working in starports, crewing merchant ships, or serving in the Confederation military will be Treakhouaia.
yeheal. An Aslan 7.5mm automatic rifle that functions much like a Human autorifle. It can be equipped with a shoulder sling, sights, a bipod, and a muzzle brake, and may be switched from semi-automatic to full automatic fire as needed. The yeheal uses a dual magazine feed with an internal mechanism that strips cartridges from one magazine until it is empty, and then proceeds to strip cartridges from the other magazine. As a result, total magazine capacity is 64 rounds and the weapon can be reloaded with one new magazine whenever less than 32 rounds remain.
