History and Background[edit]

The colony has always been tightly controlled by the Moonity Corporation LIC which was established early in the Third Imperium and still maintains tight control over the colony. It was originally colonized as a great source of industrial gems with a fair amount of metals available as well.

122-627 The Battle of Gasadim is fought:partial Imperial victory

Within the Imperial Empty Quarter, there are two surviving populations of Jonkeereen: the population on Gasadim is quite conservative. They aare an artificial human species, created by the Imperial Ministry of Colonization to live as nomads on desert worlds. While the majority of this race lives on Jonkeer (Deneb 1324) - and most of the remainder within the Domain of Deneb - a small pilot program was started in the Imperial Empty Quarter. While it ended up a failure due to the profound hostility of local Solomani cultures vis-a-vis artificially created humans, a remnant population survives on Gasadim (10,000) and Lukaau (Empty Quarter 0227) (40,000) in isolated ‘mobile villages’.
