More about Frarie
Players are welcome to add lore and interesting information.
Colony Local Name: Rohaanar
Government Type: Theocracy
Population: 25,000
Principal exports: None
History: Frairie VI is a temperate planet, but only just. Orbiting closer to the Frarie star than its neighbor Frarie VII, and with a much higher average temperature, the planet is also nearly devoid of fresh water. For these reasons, it was initially passed over for colonization.
Some 30 years after the settlement on Frarie VII was ordered into quarantine, a cult led by Idama Jeevan Nirantar decided to relocate to the planet to escape scrutiny they were under on the Intaki homeworld.
Nirantar and his followers, called the Rohaani, were extreme followers of the Intaki principles of minimalism and the tradition of the Rebirth. They believed that only by following the most deprived lifestyle could their souls be cleansed and be prepared for the final ascension of consciousness (a process known to the Intaki as the Rohaan).
While living on Intaki Prime, the cultists were known to clash with other people due to their extreme interpretations of the Ida. Rohaani, for example, normally eschew clothing of any kind, nor do they "waste" water by bathing. While most Rohaani subsist on a minimal diet of lentils and rice, all are vegan.
The most controversial of their beliefs, however, is what they call a "conservation of consciousness." For the Rohaani, the creation of a new life is an extreme waste of resources and collective set back to their goal of universal Rohaan. They believe it takes many lifetimes of sacrifice to reach the final ascension and so a child who is not a reborn elder represents generations of future labor toward perfection.
As an extension of this belief, the Rohaani participate in a ceremony known as the "saunp dena." When a Rohaani woman begins labor, the eldest or most infirmed member of the group is selected. At the moment of delivery, the elder commits an act of ritual suicide, freeing their consciousness for rebirth in the new infant.
Allegations that some Rohaani elders were "assisted" in their suicides led to the arrest and interrogation of several Rohaani leaders, including Nirantar. Before the investigations were completed, Nirantar and 25,000 of his followers fled the planet and established their colony on Frarie VI.
Authorities on Intaki Prime eventually charged Nirantar with murder, but recognizing the new colony's autonomy under the articles of planetary settlement established by the Intaki Planetary Government made it impossible to extradite him. Nirantar was tried in absentia and convicted.
In a surprise move, Nirantar agreed to be transported to Intaki for sentencing. However, prior to the arrival of Intaki authorities, Nirantar participated in a saunp dena ceremony.
When the Intaki police arrived, they found a suckling infant in place of the man they had come to detain. In accordance with Intaki traditions, criminal charges do not follow a person through rebirth and so the young Nirantar was left with his family.
While Nirantar grew and matured, leadership of the cult passed to his cousin, Shreemaan Rishtedaar. When Nirantar grew into adulthood, he resumed leadership and the two have alternated ever since.
Although a few members of the Rohaani have defected over the years, new settlers have arrived to follow the teachings of Nirantar. As a result, the colony has had a near-zero population change throughout its history.
Although it does maintain representation on the Intaki Assembly, the colony is largely isolationist and has no active trade agreements or diplomatic contact with any other member. Visitors are permitted, but no one may take up permanent residency without the express permission of Nirantar or Rishtedaar (whichever is in charge at the time.)
The colonists refer to their home as Rohaanar, which translates roughly as "The place of the final ascension."
Colony Local Name: Ud'har
Government Type: Hereditary monarchy (Jav'ri II, is the current sovereign)
Population: 200 million
Principal exports: Vaccines, biotech products, medical supplies and equipment
History: Frarie VII, given its more hospitable temperatures and abundant resources, was the first of two planets in the Frarie System to be colonized by the early Intaki settlers.
Tragedy struck the early settlements, however, when a previously unknown bacterium native to the planet nearly wiped out the initial population. The bacterium caused an extraordinarily quick but painful death in 99 percent of those who came into contact with it.
A small pocket of people with a natural immunity to the bacterium survived, but remained infected and contagious. The entire planet was locked down in quarantine and by order of the Intaki Assembly all space faring vessels were destroyed. Within weeks of the initial outbreak, the settlers were left to fend for themselves.
During the next few years, the settlers began to divide into two clans. The larger group worked to develop medical technology to cure themselves and put and end to the contagion. A smaller, more radical group plotted to defy the quarantine and escape the planet.
For more than 30 years the conflict drug on. Both groups were marginally successful in reaching their respective goals, but constant conflicts between them prevented total fulfillment.
Despite their lack of success in curing the disease caused by the bacterium, the larger group did develop many medical breakthroughs. In time their entire society came to be led by the council of doctors that served to lead the research efforts.
The smaller group made a number of breakthroughs in technology as they struggled to recreate all the necessary systems to assemble and launch a space vessel. A council also led this group for a few years until a charismatic young man posing (falsely) as the reborn incarnation of an Idama killed by the plague named himself Majamantra Tel'ek the I.
It was actually Vashti, the daughter of Tel'ek, who was instrumental in cementing the future success of the Frarie VII colony. Described as a young woman of exceptional beauty and powers of persuasion, Vashti believed that rather than fighting with the doctors, her clan should work with them.
Given the bitterness that developed after three decades of often-bloody conflict (raids against the research facilities of the opposing clan were fairly common) parties from both clans initially met Vashti's proposals with resistance. However, her marriage to the head of Medical Council coupled with the untimely demise of her father and her ascension to the position of Majamantri helped win supporters to her cause.
In short order, the Medical Council abdicated its authority to Vashti and the researchers from both clans began working together. The breakthrough that led to the cure of the disease was still another 20 years coming, but it did come. Spaceflight was achieved at nearly the same time.
Once more able to participate in interstellar trade, the colony quickly made a name for itself as a producer of medical technology. In addition the labs that had been used for decades to eradicate the Frarie bacterium were soon being used to develop treatments for use on other colonies facing similar troubles with native pathogens.
The hereditary line established by Tel'ek remains intact today with Majamantra Jav'ri II a direct lineal descendent of the original monarch. The family crest and the official symbol of the colony is a two-headed eagle bearing the slogan "Two Houses Made Whole."
The locals call the colony Ud'har, a word in the Intaki language that translates loosely as "redemption."
