History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The earliest colonial efforts here took place in ancient times. That ebbs and flows of interstellar civilization and empires have left the culture here very tribal. The central bureaucracy runs everything, but underneath there are firm tribal alliances and rivals. The imposed governmental structure is tolerated.
