History and background

Records from the Second Imperium show this system hosted a Scout Base.

In 632, Abram Elan set out from Iesha (Dagudashaag 1712) to explore this impoverished world following a vision he claimed to showed him vast deposits of valuable minerals.

He sold all his possessions, bought a small ship and survey equipment, and went to find his fortune. News of his plans made his way to the media and Elan's adventures (and the world) nicknamed Abram's Folly.

Despite several previous surveys finding nothing of value on the planet. For three decades Elan scoured the planet without a trace of the riches. He died a bitter, broken, defeated, and impoverished in 667.

The current population is made of independent, itinerant prospectors following the footsteps of Elan.
