Mainworld Data

The planet of greatest interest in the system is small and only marginally habitable. Archeological investigations of the world have indicated that the primitive TL–2 culture which once lived on the world descended from the so-called Sky Raiders, a race of immigrants to the Far Frontiers Sector who flourished some 5,000 years ago.

These discoveries were among the factors which caused the Crisis of 1108.

History and Background

Qarant was a major focal point of disputes between the League of Suns and the Descarothe Hegemony. Equal exploitation rights were granted to both parties in the 1105 Treaty of Alzenei; the Hegemony didn't send a mission to the world until late in 1107. By convention, two separate areas were established on Qarant, with each side staying in the zone granted for research and excavations. Small landing facilities are available at several of the larger dig sites.
