History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Noricum was the capital of the Sindalian Empire until it was devastated by artificial plagues in -1446 during the Empire's final days.
- The planet is covered with ruins from the old Empire and deadly viruses continue to taint the atmosphere.
- Over thirty percent of Noricum is still considered a death zone more than 2,000 years later.
The people of Noricum have learned to survive on their now-blighted world. They eat no meat, as flesh is likely to contain toxins. Their diet contains certain bitter herbs for medicinal value, and they boil all water they drink.
Non-canon: Noricum was placed under administrative interdict by the Scouts in 186 and under full interdict by Martin I in 194 to protect the indigenous population.
- Some or all of the natives are asymptomatic plague carriers.
In the first half of the 3rd Century, several lethal plagues on other worlds in the region were traced to illegal treasure hunting expeditions to Noricum.
- This made the Count of Gazulin add a quarantine to the interdict.
- The interdict/quarantine is enforced by interdiction satellites and frequent Imperial Navy patrols.
