History & Background (Dossier)
Easter is a high-population world located in Concord Subsector of the Solomani Rim. The system is a member of the Imperium and has been issued an Amber Zone travel advisory.
Easter was first colonized by the Vilani about -4800, and was later settled by large numbers of Terrans. Easter became the seat of the Easter Concord, an interstellar union for mutual defense formed during the Long Night. Following the dissolution of the Concord, the planetary economy slumped into a long recession. The Solomani Party eventually took over the world government and began a systematic purge of all Vilani influences. The overthrow of the local Solomani Movement came only after a vicious civil war, with considerable suffering among the world’s civilian population.
Easter is a balkanized world still racked by international conflict.
