History & Background (Dossier)

Wal-ta-ka is a Non-Aligned, tide-locked desert world located in Atsah Subsector of Deneb Sector.

The San-de Wai-to-ka (Children of Wal-ta-ka) live at tech level 2, performing all work by hand or by animal power. They have no permanent buildings or machinery, believing that technology makes men weak and dependent, and in large doses causes insanity.

Historical Data

Wal-ta-ka was originally settled by Wellington Interstellar Miners early in the Third Imperium period.

• A disaster in 234 forced miners from their protective domes and onto the bright side of the planet.
• Visiting traders found the colony destroyed and all miners were presumed dead.
• In 364 an expedition to resettle Wal-ta-ka found descendants of the miners who had survived the destruction of the colony.
• These descendants had developed a full-fledged subculture with unique customs and a new language derived from Anglic.
