History & Background (Dossier)

Much of Kotsfa's food is imported from the two agricultural worlds of Bamlisumguur and Saamedirer.

This world, once held by the Arzula, was strongly influenced by anti-Lorean Hegemony propaganda in the early 870s. Led by local traders and prominent religious leaders, it and several other worlds successfully seceded in 872, defying Hegemony efforts to stop them. The fact that Kotsfa had strong economic ties to rest of the Lekorma Main helped embolden them to make the split.
