Cahr
Cahr system
The Cahr System contains one of the few terrestrial planets in the Ubbonex Sector. During the SCO's early rush to exploit the raw materials of the sector, the Cahr System was declared out-of-bounds. The SCO hoped that once they had the sector claimed and reliably-producing, they could return to establish a colony on Cahr 5. However, unbeknownst to them, a community of halflings had ignored the restriction and settled on the planet anyway. While the planet is hardly a lush ideal, its dustbowls and grasslands are still full of un-used nutrients, and the atmosphere full of trapped moisture. Upon discovering the existence of a colony, the SCO dispatched a task force to relocate the community. However, after several forceful attempts, the colony successfully fended off the attacking army. Without sufficient motivation, the SCO has left them unmolested ever since.

New Kembal was founded during the Ubbonex Rush by halfling families, however it was not recognized as a completely independent and sovereign state until it successfully defended itself from an invasion from the SCF Domestic Relocation Fleet. At that time, it was hardly more than a set of crude houses, landing pads, and warehouses. However, it has rapidly grown into an industrious settlement complete with a local government, military fleet, and exodianet relay. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of New Kembal is the heavy halfling population. 92 percent of its citizens identify as halfling, and the average household contains six individuals. Furthermore, it is one of the only places you can find halfling traditions such as their nearly never-ending cycle of festivals, birthdays, and circus performances on the scale of an entire city. While the colony is a wonderful oasis of rustic comfort in an otherwise barren expanse of waste, it is important to acknowledge that crime such as theft, bribery, and extortion is common and largely ignored. But more problematically, its peace and security is at the cost of an understanding with the pirates that infest neighboring systems.
