History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Jael was only thinly settled during the Rule of Man. Most colonists in the region went to Banasdan, a few parsecs coreward. During the Long Night Jael was part of the Arcturus Federation. Cultural and political differences made Jael restless under Banasdani domination, and about 200 the planet fought a short war of independence against Banasdan. This war is remembered as a glorious affair by Jaelite patriots, although in truth the Federation government made almost no effort to prevent the secession.
After the Solomani Rim War, Jael was made subsector capital and a nexus of the Imperial X-boat system. This has brought a great deal of trade and Imperial investment to the planet, but the layers of local bureaucracy have blunted any economic windfall. As a result Jael has suffered from social unrest driven by various individualist and libertarian movements.
