Later Historical Eras[edit]
The mainworld was renamed Port Anselm by 1200.
Historical data: Era: Milieu 1248[edit]
By 1248 the world has been named Iazhipl.
The world was overrun by Zhodani refugees, many of whom ended up getting trapped on this forgotten world. Since they so massively outnumbered the original population, and since the original population had no real government as such, the Zhodani ended up taking over the world. At this point, the world is run in a Zhodani manner, and has been given a new Zhodani name. At first the original occupants of the world were very unhappy about the changes, but today, everyone seems happy with the current situation.
