Sharmun is a lost colony on the a frontier section of the empire. It was re-discovered by the scout service in 1076. The team determined that the government of the planet was split between the Victor, a charismatic dictator, the Collective, a state similar to Stalinist Russia, and several other minor states which either the Victor or the Collective was in the process of annexing. Both states were totalitarian and militaristic, both possessed stockpiles of atomic and conventional weapons, and both were convinced that an all-out war was someday inevitable. Both cultures were found to be xenophobic in the extreme and paranoid. The scout service xenologists judged it to be 87% likely that overt contact would trigger a nuclear war, either due to mistaken identity or out of fear by one side or the other that their enemies would be able to surpass them. Covert contact was judged 91% likely to cause war if discovered. The planet was posted Red and interdicted to allow Sharmun to resolve its own destiny.
