Lishval

Lishval, rarely also called Lishvalk, is an arid planet in the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

Lishval was the second planet colonized by the Volkar species, in the year 2077. Its name is derived from the archaic Lhishvalk, meaning 'New World'. It is still very rarely referred to as Lishvalk.

Under the Volkar Stellar Imperium, the planet served as the seat of House Lishval, vassals of House Ukna until 2267, which took their name from the planet itself rather than an important leader or ancestor.

Following the initial stages of the Volkar Revolution on Kavalk in 2328, a similar uprising overthrew House Lishval and led to the foundation of the Commonwealth of Lishval in 2328. The Commonwealth played a major role in the Volkar Revolutionary Wars and its conquest was the goal of several campaigns by the Stellar Imperium of Julau and the Alliance of Pol Utesk.

In 2341, the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth was founded on Lishval.

Lishval is the inhabited planet closest to Kavalk and lies along the important trade route between Kavalk and Vaklak and Pol Utesk. The trade along this route has historically made Lishval among the wealthiest of Volkar planets.
