History & Background (Dossier)

In 788, a Zhodani-supported insurrection of four Union worlds -- Uldor, Dloshl, Hearth, and Zishilicti -- threw the Union into civil war. Claims that this was due to the equal status given to Vlazhdumecta in relation to Solomani-Vilani settlers have never been proven. In any case, the so-called Four Worlds allied themselves in a secret pact with the Zhodani, who sent warships and weapons for future treaty considerations. In a well-coordinated assault, all Union installations on the four planets were captured and the Four Worlds broke free from the Union.
