Hamal is a cold desert world dominated by arid, frozen tundra and windstorms the locals call "sand blizzards.
Settlers from the highlands of Terra's South American continent established their only major city, Califa Hamal, on
the planet's equator, where temperatures can reach above freezing. Hamal's surface is a single landmass with
small, landlocked seas containing mostly crushed ice. Hamal served as one of three provincial capitals in the early
days of the Tikonov Union. However, by the time the Tikonov Union joined the Capellan Confederation, Hamal's
importance was supplanted by more habitable worlds with greater resources and larger populations. The Terran
Hegemony agreed to incorporate the increasingly backwards planet.
Aside from a small bureaucracy at Califa, most of Hamal's population carries out a nomadic, tribal existence to
this day, and follows the growth of Hamal's meager vegetation as the seasons change. After the fall of the First
Star League, the Capellan Confederation claimed Hamal. House Liao lost Hamal to the Federated Suns during
the Fourth Succession War, but not before Hamal's expert desert fighters earned the respect of House Davion.
[3132] Hamal was originally part of the Federated Suns until the creation of The Republic. Hamal became part
of Prefecture IV under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic was
created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Hamal was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Hamal fell under the influence of the Tikonov territory.
