"The cruelest fate: they turned them into steampunks."
Kesh is an isolated and sparsely-populated planet in the coreward region of Golden Branch. The supertech-wielding Rapid Evening protects the planet on the neighboring Ziishe.
The Principality of Kesh's government is stationed here, along with its most wealthy citizens. The planet chooses to use Victorian-era technology and cultural artifacts as a totally bizarre way to show off their wealth and power.[1]
