Iddamakur has had an interesting history. During the rule of the Solomani (prior to the First Solomani Rim War), Iddamakur was used as a planetary prison for all the "undesirable elements" of the region. Different populations of dissidents were distributed among the planet's twelve small continents and numerous archipelagos; use of technology above TL 4 was prohibited, as was sea travel between groups.

After the First Solomani Rim War, the Imperial government made an effort to assist the economic development of the world by constructing a class 'A' starport, which linked the relatively more prosperous worlds of Basil and Darrukesh with the rest of the sector.

The strategy worked, and by 1117, Iddamakur had a tech level of 8, and was becoming a leading producer of inexpensive, basic consumer goods. The Second Solomani Rim War caused a change in production priorities to items to support the local Imperial war effort. Control of the system changed hands several times during the war, and the system was in Solomani hands at the time of the Collapse. Though not heavily damaged by Virus, with the markets for its products gone practically overnight, the world suffered a severe economic depression which led to political anarchy.

Today, Iddamakur is balkanized, though the various factions cooperate on trade and defense issues. The last three years have seen a dramatic up turn in Iddamakur’s economic fortunes, as new products and new markets for these products (Darrukesh, and other independent "survivor" worlds in adjoining sectors) have opened up.
