The world of Kobagari is divided into six kingdoms, the highest echelon of organization being the kings at the top of most of those nations (only the Free Oceans differ, with an elected Minister). The various nations have resisted any attempts by one another or by outside influences to establish a single governing administrator for the entire world, a fact for which the Kobagari are often seen as somewhat fractious and backwater. Ultimately, this isn't terribly surprising: the Houses of the Kobagari frequently fall to infighting with one another, launching vendettas and breaking into wars with alarming frequency.

The resources-rich, biome-diverse world of Kobagari was settled several hundred generations ago by settlers from a core worlds monarchy overthrown in revolution by their own population. Fleeing their imminent deaths, the nobility and their supporters fled their homeworld and eventually settled here. Today, the human Kobagari Nobility are among the richest and most influential powers in the Halo Frontier, and Kobagari's population is measured in the hundreds of millions, with multiple nations each ruled by their own house of nobility.

The Kobagari Nations

The world of Kobagari is divided into six kingdoms, the highest echelon of organization being the kings at the top of most of those nations (only the Free Oceans differ, with an elected Minister). The various nations have resisted any attempts by one another or by outside influences to establish a single governing administrator for the entire world, a fact for which the Kobagari are often seen as somewhat fractious and backwater. Ultimately, this isn't terribly surprising: the Houses of the Kobagari frequently fall to infighting with one another, launching vendettas and breaking into wars with alarming frequency.

The Kobagari nations also adhere to the Masque Stricture, a cultural stricture that suggests that the revelation of the face is something reserved for the intimacies of family, romantic relationships, and very close friendships. Among the nobility, this manifests as a tendency to wear actual masks, many of which are emblematic of the noble house in question, and often packed with electronics to give their wearer a variety of useful information. This stricture is observed differently across the rest of the nations, with some nations preferring veils or partial masks (particularly lower-face ones). The lack of a Masque Stricture is one of the things that sets the Free Oceans citizenry apart from the Kobagari.

The Kobagari nations are made up of about 70% humans, in terms of species, with Mirialans and Pau'an making up another 25% of the population. Kobagari citizenry have a slight bias against species that are not at least near-humans, although this bias has faded significantly in the past century or so.

The Moons of Kobagari

Kobagari has two moons, one a verdant green and the other a clean blue-white in the night sky.

Garimatu

Savannah/Forest Moon
The closest of the two moons, Garimatu is a verdant green moon made up of about equal proportions forests and grasslands, criss-crossed by deep river canyons that feature stepped waterfalls along many of their lengths. Rather than seem to give precedence to any Kobagari kingdom over another, the Empire has claimed Garimatu as its garrison for Kobagari.

Garihemba

Ice/Water Moon
A mostly-liquid water moon over a core of mineral-rich stone, whichever side of Garihemba faces away from the sun tends to freeze over. Garihemba is home to a number of mining installations that provide a significant portion of the income for the Free Ocean alliance. The water isn't terribly deep here, so many of these installations have towers and spires that poke up out of the water, but all of the work is sub-aquatic, meaning it is largely a selkath concern, with crews drawn from other aquatic species, particularly from folk in Lyn'Kati settlements looking for off-world work.

The Imperial Presence

A place like Kobagari would, under normal circumstances, be assigned an Imperial Governor. Given the fractious nature of the Kobagari people, however, it was decided that the Imperial presence here is purely military, although a member of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps does have offices on the Imperial base on Garimatu.

Garimatu Garrison

The headquarters for the Kobagari Garrison under the direct command of General Amnen, as well as the offices of Ambassador Kesyk, the Garimatu Garrison is the only structure on the Kobagari moon of Garimatu.

  • Garrison Commander: General Val Amnen
  • Diplomatic Corps: Ambassador Rhugo Kesyk
