A heavily industrialized, high population world, Sacnoth was a great loss to the confederation. After a shaky start, the population settled well under Imperial rule and Sacnoth was the first of the Border Worlds to be granted home rule, in 1114. Defense is handled mainly by local forces, though an Imperial Navy squadron is based on a moon of the gas giant Falka.

The composition of Sacnoth’s atmospheric taint is unknown, and defies investigation. The concentration of this substance, which is thought to cause cancers and other serious ailments in humans, varies in an unpredictable manner that has not yet been matched to any detectable phenomenon.

Non-Canon

Sacnoth had been a severely xenophobic world, even for a Sword World. Visitors to the world were confined to a large reservation around the Downport, and were not permitted to pass beyond its periphery. The Regency unwisely and cavalierly did away with this arrangement after the Landgrab, and the world has been rent with intercommunal violence ever since. Sacnoth had been severly factionalized to begin with, and the Regency's brazen actions (at least in their view) and immigration set off a severe backlash. Several large regions are unsafe even for the Regency military to visit, and are interdicted.
