Kunhri III
Kunhri III is the third planet in the Kunhri star system, located on the outer rim of the Velorum Sector, in the Alpha Quadrant. The Romulan Star Empire first established a colony on the otherwise uninhabited planet to lay claim to its mineral riches. The Romulans constructed mining facilities deep into Kunhri III and they operated through the forced labour of subjugated client species, such as the Remans. After a century of mining every valuable ore out of the planet, the Romulans converted the mining facilities into refineries that processed ores from neighboring planets in the Velorum Sector.
In mid-2400, the workers of Kunhri III rebelled against the local Romulans in the government and refinery overseers at the same time similar rebellions occurred across the Velorum Sector. The cabal of Remans who replaced the government of Kunhri III pledged loyalty to the Reman, now-Govenor Resak, who assumed control of the Velorum Sector's capital world, Psi Velorum III. In unison, the Reman government of Kunhri III declared independence from the Romulan Star Empire.
Geography & Climate
Near the equator, the land masses are primarily desert climate and dry terrain. All of the mining facilities located on these land masses have been converted into refineries.
North and south of the equator, the land masses are primarily tropical-wet climate zones, with expansive swamp lands that vary between fresh water and salt water.
Since the late 2200s, all of the precious ores and minerals within Kunhri III have been mined and removed from the planet.
Population
The majority of the population on Kunhri III is Reman, making up 92% of the populace. A further 8% of the population are Romulan or other Romulan vassal species. Aside from the new Reman government, established in mid-2400, the entire population works in the refineries in one manner or another.
