Eddum is a high-population, industrial world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• Its economy is rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to rapidly improve barring outside forces.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This is a "Reserve World" with restricted access, either to protect the indigenous lifeforms, to protect available resources, preserve pristine and idyllic real estate, or other reasons.
• It is a member of the Amec Trade Protectorate, a cultural region and full member state of the Third Imperium in the Bolivar Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.

• The Nahuatl name of the world is Epantla.

Description

Official capital of the Amec Trade Protectorate. Eddum is home to the court of the Tlatoani and Cihuacoatl. Eddum is classed as a protected conservation area and, since the attempted assassination of the Tlatoani Chumanoatl in 788, Imperial visitors are severely restricted as to where they may go on the planet.

Eddum was originally classified with a population of 10 billion, and TL–E, and was populated with hundreds of medium sized cities surrounded by suburbs and chanty towns. In 895 a medium sized meteor struck Exaar (Eddum's only moon). The impact caused a slight fluctuation in Exaar's orbit which in turn caused Eddum to suffer a minor shift in the planetary axis. Although the planet moved less than 1°, it was sufficient to cause an chain of volcanoes to burst into life. The atmosphere was afflicted with the stench of sulfur, entire cities were buried under lava and ash, and the accompanying severe earthquakes killed over 6 billion people in one of the worst catastrophes ever to befall the sector. The Tlatoani was persuaded to move to Syrna (Dagudashaag 0329) while the Protectorate mobilized its forces into a massive rescue operation.

In 898 the Tlatoani elected to return the Turquoise Throne to Eddum. He rebuilt the cites along Syrnan lines; garden cities surrounded by floating gardens and estates. He decreed the people would return to a more idyllic life style and banned the majority of shipping from landing on the planet, displacing the major starports to Exaar.

Each city is designed as a mortal paradise. All high technology (outside the work environment) is banned by law. The poor are deported off-planet so as not to be a blemish on the classic beauty of the architecture.

Eddum has two stars in the star system.
