Syzlin is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• It is a member of the Syzlin Republic in the Syzlin Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Planetary Timeline

• Deep in the Long Night: Syzlin, a subject world of the short-lived Kaiter Hegemony, gains control of a small fleet of starships in a military rebellion. These ships are used to drive Kaiter forces from the local cluster.

• -150: Syzlin begins to expand and takes full control of its cluster as the Syzlin Empire.

• Circa 500: The Empire peaks at 24 systems.

• 778: A rebellion on Osaka triggers the partial collapse of the Syzlin Empire, reducing it to six systems.

• Circa 800: A wave of reform sweeps through the remaining Syzlin Empire systems. A brief but bitter civil war results in a republic replacing the empire.

• Circa 950: The republic, itself expanding, controls 14 systems, some of which joined mostly voluntarily and some of which were conquered.

• 987: Republican forces cross the Pavlet Deep to assault and capture the virtually worthless world of Aldrikin, to interstellar confusion.
