The Kavaronic Federal Empire is the Kav government on Kavaron in the Edge. It administers the affairs of Kavaron Before and the Kav Memorial Navy and seeks new worlds for the Kav to settle.[1]
History
The Kav are an old empire new to the wider universe, forced to make a home among the stars due to climate collapse and apocalyptic tectonic destabilization.[1] Driven by the impending Sotheran supernova, the Kav accelerated their extensive yet destabilizing mining projects as mounting cataclysms all but tore Kavaron apart. They had to deal their world a coup de grâce of extractive mining and industrial production to lift not only their species but enough of their biome off-world to escape the crumbling one. The Monoists' collapse of Sothera into a supervoid slowed the system's impending death, giving the Kav time to leave their planet.[2]
Decades before 4564 AR, the first Kav shuttle lifted the first flight of refugees off Kavaron's unstable surface on a day that became known as Exodus Day.[1] Since then, the Kavaronic Empire has worked to manage and grow its vast orbital population, search for a new home, and stabilize sections of its old homeworld to continue harvesting resources and salvage what could not be carried away. In the meantime, the Kav live in constellations of orbital diadems, massive stations in orbit above Kavaron, and among nomadic mining fleets that frequent the asteroid belt dividing the inner Sothera system from the outer Sothera system. A dwindling population still lives on Kavaron Before — the tectonically stabilized, whole half of Kavaron — waiting to be evacuated and tending to the artifacts, monuments, arts, and other cultural treasures of the Kav collected in the last imperial city, the ancient capital Vu.
The successful terrasymbiosis of Evendo has not gone unnoticed by the Kavaronic Empire, which is already designing invasion plans to take the world for its own once the Eumidians have finished remaking it.[1] The Kav believe strongly that this could be their "Kavaron Tomorrow."
The Kavaron Memorial Navy (KMN) is the interstellar navy of the Kavaronic Empire. Its ships are primarily made up of converted mining vessels, making them extremely hardy but less maneuverable than comparable fleets.[1][3] KMN is entrusted with protecting and retrieving the remains of Kavaron, to which end they track and map the collapsing sections of Kavaron That Is. As KMNTRAC (/ˈkeɪ.məntræk/, kayməntrak), they are also responsible for space traffic around Kavaron.[2]
Memorial teams are KMN ground teams that operate on and above Kavaron.[1] They police the city of Vu, manage the evacuation of Kavaron Before, and range out into Kavaron That Is to extract intact memorial vaults to be returned to the Kav people on diadem stations off-planet.[3] Memorial teams are supplied with rebreathers, gravboots, and a variety of weapons. They store caches in balloon-like containers of inert gas called ROTORs, short for "run outside, tear off respirator," because that's what those who sleep inside them while wearing rebreathers want to do when they wake up.[4] Memorial teams are led by Harkener Sergeants. Subedars and lower-ranked jemadars are field soldiers with experience handling offworlders. They are generally trained in Psimer and Pinnacle's laws. KMN soldiers are known to carry beam or kavfilament axes, short energy blades, and war drills. Teams travel in exoatmospheric lob vehicles (ELVs), flimsy balloon-wheeled rovers that have been cut down to the bare minimum so they can be flown between Kavaron Before and Kavaron That Is on laser-boosted spacecraft.
