History & Background (Dossier)

This world was settled by adventurous Vargr. Despite the adverse conditions, these pioneers worked hard to make the world a major agricultural producer. A life working under the hot sun and with unforgiving weather and soil made the locals a hardy and self reliant bunch. This attitude permeated their relations with other Vargr, whom they regarded as toadying and weak.

• Corsairs were not welcome, though it wasn't until the world's annexation by the Third Imperium during the Vargr Campaigns (268) that the world finally enjoyed any peace from the depredations of their neighbors.

Historical Data

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:

• ca -250,000: The Ancients are active within the region, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
• -9235: The Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
• -4045 to -2204: The Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
• -3810: The Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
• -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
• ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1776 to 0: The Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• The Year 0: To rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: The Empire of Varroerth is founded.

History-Era: Rebellion

The locals' resistance to Corsair rule ran into the Rebellion period. The locals vigorously resisted the advance and control of the Dzarrgh Federate, with acts of sabotage and nonviolent resistance. The Federate hurt its cause by appointing non-charismatic governors to control the world, which stiffened resistance even further. Eventually several local corsair bands began to implicitly assist the locals by "non-performance" of their duties.

History-Era: New Era

By 1130 the world had almost slipped into anarchy, which is to say that the Federate had almost lost control over local law and order. The Domain of Deneb regularly ran weapons and agents to the world, and it became a leading center of its operations in the region.

• The Denebians pulled out in 1131, and the local resistance slowly disintegrated. A vampire fleet hit the world in 1139, and in the ensuing chaos power was seized by the local Federate garrison commander. Under his leadership safe haven was given to various surviving corsairs, and the population has been reduced to slavery to serve the whims of these offworld Vargr. The descendants of the corsairs have become the ruling class of the world's decimated communities, and life is still hard for the native Vargr. Some advance scouts from the Regency have reached the world, and low level contacts have been initiated with members of the native population to see what options exist in liberating this world.
