Description (Specifications)
The only pro-Zhodani state in Taemerlyk in Far Frontiers Sector, the Four Worlds has jurisdiction over (unsurprisingly) four worlds, with its capital at Uldor (Far Frontiers 1928).
In 788, a Zhodani-inspired insurrection took place in the Union of Garth, a region originally settled by Protectorate colonists. This rebellion resulted in the formation of the Four Worlds, a state which has maintained pro-Zhodani sympathies since gaining its independence from Garth.

In 788, a Zhodani-supported insurrection of four Union worlds – Uldor, Dloshl, Hearth, and Zishilicti – threw the Union into civil war. Claims that this was due to the equal status given to Vlazhdumecta in relation to Solomani-Vilani settlers have never been proven. In any case, the so-called Four Worlds allied themselves in a secret pact with the Zhodani, who sent warships and weapons for future treaty considerations. In a well-coordinated assault, all Union installations on the four planets were captured and the Four Worlds broke free from the Union.
