Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]
No information yet available.
Historical Data[edit]
Stad was settled by one of Solomani families that colonized the systems around White (world). Their political desire for extreme personal and economic freedoms led these families to settle worlds far from the Terran Confederation and First Imperium. During the Rule of Man Stad was integrated into the Second Imperium.
After the collapse of the Second Imperium and the beginning of the Long Night the Protectorate of Alba was founded and Stad became a founding member. The Protectorate was a mutual defense and economic treaty that helped keep the member worlds from experiences the same degradation that other worlds faced. In 198 the Protectorate of Alba joined the Third Imperium as a client state and was dissolved after the member worlds were granted full citizenship in the Imperium.
In 704 Stad was included in the creation of the Solomani Autonomous Region (the system is approximately 50 parsecs from Terra). In 871 Stad joined the Solomani Confederation as a founding member with the other former Protectorate worlds. During the Solomani Rim War Stad was too far from the fighting to experience any raiding by the Third Imperium and never fell under occupation.
