History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Farreach is a part of six worlds that form a thin strip of Zhodani territory projecting into the subsector known as the Riverland Wall. The heavily fortified system contains an important Zhodani naval base.
During the opening of the Fifth Frontier War the Zhodani 1st Assault Fleet struck from Farreach through Louzy (Spinward Marches 1604) for Efate (Spinward Marches 1705) and began the siege of that world.
The famed 4518th Lift Infantry Regiment fought at Farreach during the Third Frontier War.
History-Era: Milieu 1120[edit]
The Zhodani Navy keeps the world of Farreach under close watch as the Vargr population has recently destroyed their last government. The world is now under the control of small groups. The starport is the only Zhodani enclave
