Tana is a nonindustrial fluid world.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Syzlin Republic in the Kobe Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

During part of the Long Night, this was a subject world of the short-lived Kaiter Hegemony. When Syzlin gained control of a small fleet of starships in a military rebellion, Kaiter forces were driven from the local cluster.

As a member of the Syzlin Republic, this world sends representatives to the central government at Syzlin.

World Military

This world is defended by the Syzlin Home Fleet, based out of Syzlin itself.

All ground forces, system defense vessels, planetary installations and Jump-capable naval vessels in the Syzlin Republic are under the direct control of the Republican President on Syzlin.

Planetary Timeline

• Deep in the Long Night: Syzlin, a subject world of the short-lived Kaiter Hegemony, gains control of a small fleet of starships in a military rebellion. These ships are used to drive Kaiter forces from the local cluster.

• -150: Syzlin begins to expand and takes full control of its cluster as the Syzlin Empire.

• Circa 500: The Empire peaks at 24 systems.

• 778: A rebellion on Osaka triggers the partial collapse of the Syzlin Empire, reducing it to six systems.

• Circa 800: A wave of reform sweeps through the remaining Syzlin Empire systems. A brief but bitter civil war results in a republic replacing the empire.

• Circa 950: The republic, itself expanding, controls 14 systems, some of which joined mostly voluntarily and some of which were conquered.

• 987: Republican forces cross the Pavlet Deep to assault and capture the virtually worthless world of Aldrikin, to interstellar confusion.
