History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Markasher's rich belts have been exploited for centuries by the Conglomerate, a collection of mostly Sylean mining concerns. Markasheri mining 'clans' work in concert to extract the resources from the belts that are needed to build infrastructure for the high-population worlds of the Kaskii Subsector.
