Historical Data
After the fall of the Rule of Man, Mendan and its dependents became part of the Second Empire of Gashikan; after the collapse of the Second Empire, Mendan and many of the worlds it administered chose instead to associate themselves with the Julian Protectorate rather than the Third Empire of Gashikan. Today these worlds form the Commonwealth of Mendan. Since joining the Protectorate, a strong effort to overcome the legacy of race hatred has had some effect.
