Jacent is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
- It is a part of the Hell Worlds in the Sarudis Subsector of Far Home Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.
- This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
- This world is controlled by the Sath Alliance

Rumours persist of a group of "Ghost People" that exist in the deep outback of the world, who shun all contact with outsiders. Some speculate that they may be the descendants of the original human settlers who managed to escape the forcible depopulation of Jacent by the Second Confederation in 2646AD, or that they may be the descendants of people trapped on the world by the Voyagers during the Dark Age. Most likely, though, is that they are a tall tale.
Historical data
The site of an early human settlement, in place since ca 2350AD. Its main port was an orbital facility constructed as a private venture and became operational in 2410AD. The Jacent Incident took place in the system in 2468AD. The system was forcibly depopulated in 2646AD, during the Second Confederation.
The Confederation navy continued to maintain a presence in the Jacent system: it utilised the orbital facilities as a base for a task force charged with preventing human ships from leaving the Confederation. Interstellar traffic was known to pass by the system heading towards the worlds of the Pador-Aredian Cluster. During this time, the only permanent residents in the system consisted of the naval staff and their families aboard the station.
The task force clashed with a Sath armored reconnisance force in 2657AD, comprehensively defeating it in what became known as the Battle of Jacent. Confederation naval forces were finally withdrawn in 2701AD and the orbital port was abandoned, eventually burning up in the atmosphere sometime around 2850AD.
Human refugees fleeing the increasingly harsh Second Confederation found sanctuary in the system sometime around 3300AD. Sath scouting vessels passed through the system's outer fringe around 3400AD as they performed covert surveys of the human worlds. The population remained sparse during the time of the Third Confederation and the world became barren during the Dark Age and the depredations of the Voyagers.
The third (and to date permanent) wave of settlement came during the so-called Scavenger Season, when human settlers seeking new opportunities began a new settlement on the world. This is known to have been in place by 4750AD and has thrived since that time, with Jacent becoming a wealthy agricultural world.
During the Sath Diaspora of the mid-55th century large numbers of Sath displaced from the Sha'a Cluster settled regions of the world not claimed by humans. Their temporary camps became permanent communities, though they remained poor and often lacked even the most basic amenities. These Sath outposts frequently found themselves at odds with their human neighbours. In 5596AD the Ka'sa Faction of the Sath Alliance invaded Jacent on the pretext, among other things, of protecting the rights of these Sath communities.
