History & Background (Dossier)

Ergo had a thriving pre-stellar society prior to 802, when the General Development Company (GeDeCo) contacted the world, offering to help fund the construction of a starport. Ergo's ruling body, the Council of Barons, agreed to the proposal but internal disputes over trade and tax revenues escalated until the Council dissolved into a handful of warring feudal states. GeDeCo withdrew from the starport proposal and the ensuing civil war lasted more than a century, with 90% of the population wiped out from famine, starvation, and nuclear winter. The only civilized area of Ergo is now a small region surrounding the ruins of the starport, while the rest of the planet is a hostile mix of radioactive wasteland, cannibal tribes, and pirate bases.

The population has stabilized at 485,000 humans, spread across the world's major continent, with most settlements in the northeast. They have regressed to TL–3, and have a tribal society, with no real laws or government.

The Imperium maintains two automated interdiction satellites in orbit around Ergo, with teams checking them every 5 years. They were installed in 1051 in order to protect the natives from their higher-tech neighbors, and visitors from the hostile natives.
