History and background[edit]

Coroico is the latest planet to elect to join the Amec Trade Protectorate. Initially colonized during the Second Imperium, the planet was decimated in 744 when a mutated Ebola Fever virus swept through the population. Quarantined for three years on orders from the Duke, the population of 2.3 million was reduced to 80. After the world was once more declared safe, the survivors elected to stay on and try and rebuild.

Despite several attempts to attract off-world colonists, fewer than 220 ever came. Most off-worlders still fear the neo-ebola fever virus is still just dormant.

By 1115 the world has a population of 7,500, mostly descended from the original 80 survivors. There is an intense dislike of the subsector government for, as they see it, abandoning the world in their time of need. The world exports include native fruits and salvaged metal and other materials from the original colony.
