History & Background (Dossier)

This world lies on the independent trade route known as the Gateway-Sardis Run, connecting the Megusard Corporate to the Galian Federation. A serious concern among Megusard officials is that a hypothetical assimilation of the Trindel Confederacy by the Viyard Concourse would bring several of the Run's worlds, including Lanu, into easy range of Viyard strike forces and raiders.
