• This world has few prospects for economic development.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Keum Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.

History & Background (Dossier)

During the Long Night this world fell within the Rebin Empire's sphere of influence. It benefitted from trade agreements and defense policies imposed by the Empire, but it struggled with the Empire's unilateral decision-making, interference in its internal affairs, and occasional military interventions. The Empire gradually disintegrated in the centuries before the founding of the Third Imperium, with interstellar trade trailing off and many of the worlds it had overseen becoming depopulated.

• Despite its many shortcomings, the Rebin Empire was broadly considered a force for good and most worlds are proud of their association with it.
• The many worlds the Empire controlled or interacted with retain a strong Rebin cultural flavor to the present day.
