History & Background (Dossier)

Synez is Khouth Subsector's best kept secret. Why the Imperium didn't develop this system more is an enduring mystery.

• The world seems to have developed a bad reputation early in the sector's history, which belies the fact that it is moderately rich, certainly good enough to support a population of several billion.
• The population that lived there were primarily families of military veterans that were granted land allotments by the Imperial Navy, which owned some properties on the world that it had never developed.

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:

• ca -250,000: The Ancients are active within the region, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
• -9235: The Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
• -4045 to -2204: The Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
• -3810: The Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
• -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
• ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1776 to 0: The Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• The Year 0: To rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: The Empire of Varroerth is founded.
• early 100s: The Contract of Taarskoerzn is founded.
• 300-420: The Imperial First Survey charts the system.
• early 400s: The Irrgh Manifest is founded: it absorbs the Contract of Taarskoerzn.
• mid 500s: The Knokseng Confederation is founded.
• 869: The Glory of Taarskoerzn is founded. It splits the Irrgh Manifest.
• 995-1065: The Imperial Second Survey charts the system.
• 1065: The Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
• 1080s: The Knokseng Confederation is dissolved.
• 1090: The Dzarrgh Federate is formed.

History-Era: Rebellion

The Dzarrgh Federate on the other hand recognized the prize they gained, but were unable to begin developing it before Virus came and extirpated. It seems that several corsair bands from the Irrgh Manifest disputed their ownership over Synez and several other worlds, and it took several years for the Federate Navy to drive them out and secure the planet... just in time for the Collapse.

The current families have been able to maintain their tech level through the careful preservation of technical documents and and instructional material. Every inhabitant is expected to know a trade, and carefully memorize and copy all related information into special notebooks. The entire population obsessively keeps journals of their day-to-day lives, and hidden in their records are some gems about the nearby movements of a vampire fleet that afflicts Khouth.
