History and Background

This world was chosen to be an industrial centre by the Suedzuk Vargr in -840. By -800, the world was covered in factories and hyper-violent Vargr settlements. For centuries, it was an important and wealthy Vargr world, rising up to TL-12. However, the atmosphere was poisoned by its industry, and the world largely abandoned by -500 TI Imperial.

This world remains the site of an ancient Vargr settlement, now overtaken by jungle life. The tainted atmosphere is very poisonous. Sporadic, but well-armed anti-Hegemony activity is being suppressed as of 993.

Uzola is not a particularly important world. However, it is known to be a host for certain criminal and terrorist elements within the Hegemony of Lorean. Lorean and Star Legion raids on the world are an occasional occurrence. Within the jungle regions of the planet, a huge network of entwined cables - some thin, some massive - point to the long-lost Vargr culture.

World Culture

Culturally, Arzula are best described as a blend of

  • A Vilani conformity and caution,
  • A Solomani taste for relentless expansionism and racial supremacy, and
  • A very old-school political messianic authoritarianism.
