History and Background[edit]
This system has a reputation for violence due to her internal divisions. Initially, this was a racial division between pureblooded American Indians and mixed-race American Indian: then, another layer of division was laid between pure Solomani and Mixed Vilani: then, a third layer was made, between Christian and Animist (and soon after, ‘original’ native Animist and Animist-Hindus). Fortunately, the internal difficulties have been resolved for a century now, providing a certain amount of prosperity and steady growth. While not a particularly desirable place to live, Takoda is now far from the bottom of the pile, and still on the way up - slowly, but surely. The class-B Imperial starport, no more than ten years old, is now turning a profit, providing a justification for a week-long, planet-wide celebration and a reason for the world’s tribes to draw together in shared happiness.
The various surviving tribal-racial and tribal-theocratic governments share ownership of two old but serviceable Suleiman scouts that serve as system SDBs: coupled with a few scattered ground-based laser and missile sites, the basic needs of planetary defense are served. Beyond the 100-diameter limit, though, you’re on your own. A few silent, picked-over corpses of unfortunate merchant ships can be spotted by any visitor to the system: the Imperial Navy is expected to clear them up, after the Solomani Rim war is over.
