History & Background (Dossier)

This was once considered a reserve world, but when that notion began to fade, local systems competed to exploit it.

• Ninua, the capital of Shinkan Subsector, wanted Lagaashin to become a penal colony where prisoners would be forced to work the land.
• Nimluin wanted to send colonists to relieve its overpopulation problems.
• Nuudle and Aaruu Zi planned to offer access to Lagaashin to people who sought a simple, pastoral lifestyle.

Ninua won the race, sending political prisoners and suspected dissidents to Lagaashin in 577, allegedly to provide labour for a number of agricultural collectives. A few decades later, the Nimluin junta followed suit, sending large numbers of political prisoners to Lagaashin. They were given basic supplies for survival and then left largely to their own devices.
