The Imperium of Kajal arose several centuries ago, when the first emperor came to power in the nation of Mejar, one of many that existed on the planet at the time. Mejar soon expanded its borders, eventually annexing the entirety of the planet, or welcoming new nations to it as states. The first planetwide government was established 45 years after Mejar had become the only nation, and it dubbed itself “Kajal” after the name of the world on which it resided. Economically and technologically, the nation is on par with any other nation of its age, but a few generations behind nations such as Menelmacar, although ‘primitive’ gravship technology has been in use in the nation for several decades. It has more recently fielded ten operational gravships, although they are somewhat smaller then those employed by other nations. | The Imperium of Kajal arose several centuries ago, when the first emperor came to power in the nation of Mejar, one of many that existed on the planet at the time.

Introduction
- Background
The Imperium of Kajal arose several centuries ago, when the first emperor came to power in the nation of Mejar, one of many that existed on the planet at the time. Mejar soon expanded its borders, eventually annexing the entirety of the planet, or welcoming new nations to it as states. The first planetwide government was established 45 years after Mejar had become the only nation, and it dubbed itself “Kajal” after the name of the world on which it resided. Economically and technologically, the nation is on par with any other nation of its age, but a few generations behind nations such as Menelmacar, although ‘primitive’ gravship technology has been in use in the nation for several decades. It has more recently fielded ten operational gravships, although they are somewhat smaller then those employed by other nations.
