History & Background

Banff was originally surveyed by the Third Imperium in the mid 400s, having been passed over by almost everybody else in the Deep.

Although lanthanum was discovered on the mainworld, its commercial usefulness was limited until the Nakatomi Company of Collins World founded a mining colony in 994, shortly before the Solomani Rim War. The colony came to be operated by the subsidiary, Banff System Company.

Rebellion and New Era

Nakatomi was thoroughly dependent on Imperial contracts, and went bankrupt in 1120 when the Federation of Daibei pulled back to the old Imperial border. This stranded the miners. They formed a provisional government and managed to hang on for several years, but weren't expected to last long without an influx of cash and technology spares. The Provisional Government was trying to cut deals with the Gralynites and the Rintarnans.
