K'nn Group

The K'nn Group is an alliance of fifteen similar technology-oriented worlds spread across multiple dimensions and linked by portal travel. The sheer number of people and the level of advancement of the technology is astounding to new visitors. It is the home base of S'th'kx and his mining operations, and provides a full venue for vacationing. Strangely, the group does not appear to make use of interstellar travel, preferring the portals for such voyages. Technologically-based space travel is limited to intra-system trips. 
== Native Species ==
It is not explicitly stated, but is heavily implied that the Krennsh are a species native to one or more worlds in the K'nn group.
==Law Enforcement==
The K'nn Group has (at least) two levels of law enforcement. 
Level one is the actual police force that is (presumably) a part of the governing body of the Group. They have all the usual powers and responsibilities of a traditional police force in a civilized society. They are commensurately held to a high standard of behavior and regulation, and are required to undergo the relevant training.
Level two credentials are granted by the governing body to outstanding civilians that are not actually part of the police force or even necessarily part of their society. Level two enforcement agents are treated as outside consultants and have less restrictions on their actions, although they presumably will have to answer for any major transgressions that may occur in the process of exercising their powers. Level twos do not have the power to actually arrest anyone. Once they have resolved the immediate threat, they are required to notify the proper authorities (level one enforcement) to come and make the actual arrests.
== Organizations ==
* K'nn Interworld Financial Exchange: a financial institution which includes personal and commercial banking services and, presumably, the equivalent of stock trading. Accounts with them are usable on approximately 60 worlds.
== Member Worlds ==
Presumably the worlds in the K'nn Group are named simply by number, i.e. K'nn one through K'nn fifteen. Only the worlds below are mentioned by name in the story so far.
* K'nn IV: This world is the main hub of the K'nn Group and also the home base of S'th'kx and his asteroid mining operation. It is from here that the moon mission staged from. This world leased a hyper-light engine from another species to evaluate it, but has apparently not gone further than that.
* K'nn VII: The ambassador for K'nn seven was suffering from an unknown lethal viral infection while visiting Fwetna but was healed by Chou and Yori. (non-narrative anecdote)
* K'nn IX: An agricultural and recreational world, it was visited by Yori, Chou, Azumi, Tamiko, and Fumiko while on vacation. While there Ms. Aoyama foiled a minor plot by organized crime against one of Uthryyl's friends. This is also where some of the sisterhood acquired their space suit bracelets.
