History and Background

The original colonists of Madingik were a transport of Droyne abandoned here when a Aakhri Empire ship suffered damage to its life support system during a battle with Medurma Pact forces. Rather than destroy them, the captain apparently hoped to return and pick up the survivors after the ship was repaired. It never returned.

The Droyne found that to survive it was necessary to burrow under the ice near some magma vents. Here they dwelt, living a primitive existence beside the great ice-covered seas.

In -27 humans arrived, establishing a colony on the equatorial continent. Neither party knew of each other existence until 175 when a tour guide was accidentally killed while visiting the Northern continent. The incident sparked off a long and bloody racial war, which lasted over ten years. In the end the sector navy intervened, negotiating a peace treaty that gave the Droyne the northern continent and the humans the equatorial one.

Madingik is a small, but thriving world. The Droyne still maintain a primitive TL–3 lifestyle. The humans' main industry is the manufacture of cold weather equipment and Vacc suits.

Several fossils of a creature believed to be the long-extinct sophont known as "Acathii" have been found on Madingik.

Urbanization

An island situated between on a warm ocean current between the two continents, known as Pax, was colonized. The island is open to both humans and Droyne. It serves as the planet's main port facilities, the Naval administration center, and from where the naval base commander governs the world.

A number of artificial islands are scattered around the island's coast, housing the wealthier members of society. These islands are surrounded by open water with the only access by drawbridge. By tradition the inhabitants are expected to put on a light show every night that the owner is in residence. These laser and hologram shows are visible for several kilometers.

The island itself is a warren of covered frozen canals. There are few restrictions against euphoric and recreational drugs. The many taverns sell alcohol and many less conventional drugs. The canals and streets are filled with revelers most days, and Pax is a favorite layover port for Naval personnel on shore leave. Many of the locals wear fanciful masks during their visits to the island, claiming the anonymity of the masks allows a fuller experiences.
