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.

- Legal System
Based on Kitaran Law, with slight modifications. Kajali Shokur (trial) is carried out by a group of nine known as the Soranni (council). The process of Shiya (literal translation: determine. In context, determination) is performed by the appointed Sora (master) of the Soranni. The entire process is carried out within a Miyar (court), and a successful defense must prove yarro (doubt) in the Soranni’s case. However, the Soranni is well known for its ability to convict 90% of those that appear before them. Disproving Rir (guilt) is extremely difficult.

Subdued attack upon Federation of Races member nations by Kiith Furio Prime, a now nonexistent nation. Continued difficulties with Kajal Mars, stemming from the colony’s desire for sovereignty.
The Four Worlds of Kajal have reconciled the disagreements with Kajal Mars under the leadership of Imperatrix KERAL, however, the nation has been declared an enemy of METUS. As such, the nation is under full wartime law.
