History & Background (Dossier)

So far no less than six colonies have tried to make a go of Ikkimam and not one has succeeded.

• While the atmosphere is too thin to breath it should be fine for growing crops, yet the crops mostly seem to fail.
• There are no minerals of appreciable value on the planet but it is a large planet with decent gravity and plenty of space.
• This was the line used by Lady Yolande Lans Crussk when she began to set up the latest colonial attempt on Ikkimam.
• She set up a first rate downport and offered people high incentives to come and settle the planet.
• However, the crops haven’t grown well and the colony is slowly starving.
• Crussk herself died in 899 but the 8 million colonists are still trying to keep the colony going.
