History and background

The glory days of Sivvista are long gone. At the height of its power, not only was the Sivvista system a major industrial force, it was also considered a centre of learning, culture, and freedom. Today, however, while still visible in the surviving architecture, museums and government approved libraries, the planet itself struggles to keep hold of any power and influence it once held. If anything, Sivvista is a relic of a past age.

Sivvista’s fall came about following the death of protector Darien Xiox, who while essentially taking the role of dictator believed in a very laissez-faire attitude towards trade, life and art. Much of his time was spent financing great projects of urban renewal and forming strong trade links with neighboring systems. It was under Xiox’s rule that all which made Sivvista great was founded.

Following his death, however, many programs were abolished by his power hungry under-cabinet as they struggled to decide which of them would replace the late ruler. For over a decade the planet was left with little real control and, when a new protector was finally decided upon (due more to careful assassination and bribery rather than politics) the planetary well-being had already begun to break down.

Following the Great War of Zashe (Dagudashaag 3220) in 1106, Sivvista had become the landing ground for huge numbers of refugees, effectvely quadrupling the population. Furthermore no effectve governing had caused great civil unrest in the cites - rioting and looting destroying both fundamental infrastructure and many businesses. New protector, Gardinia Maal, took to his rule with an iron fist, oppressing the people and attempting to regain respect, both of his own subject and of the neighboring systems’ governments. While returning a small degree of stability to Sivvista, Maal has left the population fearing the government. The planet is overcrowded and production is heading towards an all-time low.
