== History and background ==
Fau is a viable [[Ziadd]] colony thanks primarily to the support and assistance given by [[S'mrii]] during the initial re-colonization. As a result most Ziadd consider the S'mrii close allies and friends, a feeling that is not returned. Fau is primarily known for its war memorials, seafood delicacies, and very active anti-[[Universal Church of God|Universalist]] press.

===First Colony===
Fau was initially colonized by Ziadd during the [[Rule of Man]] and remained a stable if small colony until [[-692]]. Then, during the period of expansion by the [[Ushran Empire]], missionaries from the [[Universal Church of God]] arrived and started to try and convert the colonists. Unfortunately, under Canon law Ziadd are not considered 'true' humans but 'artificial' and therefore are not considered to possess a soul. When informed by the missionaries that they would have to reconcile themselves to being second-class citizens in the Kingdom of God the Ziadd colonists grew extremely angry and apparently killed them. 

In response, the Universal Church retaliated by forming what Pope [[Innocent XXI]] was, centuries later, to describe as an 'unholy' alliance with the Ushrans to attack Ziadd colonies. Within months the Ziadd colony at Fau was crushed under the military heel of the [[Ushran Empire]]. The few survivors colonists were enslaved. A Dominican mission was established on Fau to enforce the will of God upon the savages; a task the order of warrior priests accepted with relish. 

In [[-672]] the Ushrans gave orders to pull out. The full horror of the occupation will probably never be known but a S'mrii ship visiting the planet a mere six months after discovered the streets filled with decaying and mutilated corpses. Less than twenty-one colonists survived out of an initial population of one hundred and twenty thousand. Unfortunately the survivors were so badly traumatized by their experiences that they were never able to give a full account of what happened. The Church blamed the incident on the Ushran troops and the Empire blamed the 'missionary' zeal of the Universal Churches' House of Inquisition.

Fau has since been extensively recolonised. 

=== World Population (P) ===
{{WorldPop|name= Fau|multiplier= 3|Population= 7}}
* The population is almost entirely [[Ziadd]].

==== Linguistic Topography ====
* [[Anglic]]: One of the two official languages of the [[Third Imperium]]
* ''[[Klatha'sh]]'': The dominant Ziadd language

===Urbanization ===
Ziadd structures tend to be solid and blocky and are usually heavily decorated. Many fly flags and banners declaring allegiance and status.
