Koykinax

Kragstarking is an inhabited terrestrial planet that is the second planet from the star Gallingsol located in the Alpha Arm of the Idiodide Galaxy and is part of the Grand Koykinaxal Empire. It is considered the "slum of the Galaxy" as it has one of the lowest GDPs in the galaxy at 1,291,380 Galactic Token (§) per Standard Galactic Year. Kragstarking has a ring system of two rings made of abandoned starships that have many useful parts salvaged by scavengers leaving just the essential frame of the ships.

Physical characteristics

The planet's surface is approximately 45% water, 18% ice and 47% land, the majority of this land (91%) is covered in high-density, slum-like city with a population density of approximately 96.69 intelligent beings per km2.

History

Iveli War of Independence (44 BGA - 43 BGA)

During the Iveli War of Independence, a chain of bombings by radical Iveli were carried out in some of the most densely populated areas of the planet after they assumed that Kragstarking was important because of its high population. Around 1,012 were killed and 2,180 injured during the attacks.

Due to Kragstarking's importance to the Koykinax government, very little notice was taken of the attacks and the survivors received no support from the state. This led to the disillusionment of the Kragstar people which in turn led to Kragstarking Protests of 39 BGA.

Pan Galactic War (12 BGA - 1 BGA)

Kragstarking was relatively unaffected by the Pan Galactic War as it was seen as an unimportant backwater planet compared to it's neighbor Largraag. It's moon, Jarkill had two prison complexes built upon it to house prisoners of war in 9 BGA. after the Battle of Largraag in 3 BGA the wrecks of the Hargig Republic's starships were moved into orbit around Kragstarking so as to not interfere with the supply ships regularly taking silicon from the surface into hyperspace.

Pan Galactic Recuperation (1 AGA - 10 AGA)

Following the Pan Galactic War, the Grand Koykinaxal Empire moved starship debris and wrecks to Kragstarking so the supply routes that took silicon to and from Largraag wouldn't be obstructed and also with the intent of boosting the planet's GDP by encouraging the locals to sell the scrap from the shipwrecks during the Pan Galactic Recuperation. This plan failed however as the local population kept the scrap they'd salvaged to make buildings, atmospheric craft or personal spacecraft as the economic crash caused by the war had made the materials almost worthless. After this, Kragstarking was used primarily as an orbital scrapyard by the rest of the Koykinaxal Empire.
