Hork

Hork is the Media Capital of Kukubia.

History
The planet Hork is named after Emperor Hork Nicolson (Emperor Dred Nicolson's father). Hork Nicolson originally saw this planet as the hub of his propaganda machine. At the time, he was losing control of the Kukubian Colonies and was in need of help. The only problem was that Hork Nicolson was not nearly as intelligent as his father, the Great Bass Nicolson, and his efforts at regulating all media and cramming political slogans down everyone's throat only made the rebellious colonies even more upset.

After Emperor Hork was assassinated by his own cabinet, the entire New Realm began to disintegrate. With this collapse came new liberties. For the first time is the Nicolson Dynasty, the media had complete freedom of speech. Consequently, planet Horn began to flourish as a cultural and artistic center. In those few years, the print, TV and film industries blossomed. It wasn't until the reinstatement of Dred Nicolson to the throne that things began to tighten up again.

Today, the media is still much freer than the time of Emperor Hork, but there are certain lines journalists dare not cross. These regulations, however, have not prevented the planet Hork from retaining its place as the media capital of the Colonies. It is presently where 90% of Kukubia's films, TV shows, magazines and newspapers are produced. If a business needs some publicity, planet Hork is the place to be.
