The Nullians of Nullia (Hinterworlds 0824 G4 V M3 V) claim to be a Minor Human Race, though their actual origin is unclear, and they are often assumed to be merely a Solomani-Vilani culture dating from the Long Night. Technologically advanced sophonts, they are politically ambitious and have formed the Nullian League.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

No information yet available.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

During the Solomani Rim War, advancing Imperial fleets prompted an increased market for Hiver technologies. This meant that the Hiver trade connection had to be redirected from a coreward route to a spin-rimward route. The mercantile houses of Nullia foresaw this change and espoused the adoption of a trading league that featured low tariffs and the safe transit of trade goods.

At the turn of the 12th Century Imperial, a small but well organized "hawkish" faction within the Nullian League made a bid for power, taking advantage of turmoil within Ral Ranta space by insisting that the League had to act, if only in self-defense -- if Ral Ranta dissolved into civil war, it was conceivable that rogue military units would split off and begin wreaking havoc in neighbouring space. Proponents suggested that the League begin to coordinate its activities to protect against this potential threat. Almost as important was the sudden and aggressive growth of the Anubian Trade Coalition, which was able to pull off a string of major trading coups from 1080 to 1100. The League hawks claimed that the ATC had begun to wage an undeclared economic war against the Nullian League, which merchants were willing to believe as they saw trade shift away from Beyerly's Path to the Bruia Diagonal and Alike Run.
