History & Background (Dossier)

This world was the site of a Solomani colony during the Rule of Man. It collapsed during the Long Night, and Farhome remained empty until a second colony was established in 667. This colony exploited the untapped resources of both the mainworld and the system's two planetoid belts. In more recent times, poor planning and subsequent financial struggles have left the world economy in dire straits.

World Culture

The depressing musical genre called altDirge originated here.
