History & Background (Dossier)

A deeply competitive race, the Bhunj of nearby Ketial (Fornast 1933) embraced the mercantile freedoms of the Rule of Man. The power void left as the Rule of Man retracted toward Core led to the formation of the Second Bhunj Exclusion, which would persist in some form through nearly half of the Long Night; as it collapsed, Bhunj communities were left on a number of worlds, including this one.
