History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Circa -2355, politics in the region were tense. Jealous of the world's independence when their own systems had accepted client status with the Zhodani Consulate, disgruntled factions began targeting Nikopelenos, and other worlds left outside the Zhodani sphere. Nikopelenos was hit hard by high explosives on three occasions. Using new clients Zeyiri, Thapek, and Raletela as bases, the Zhodani cracked down on the region and put a stop to the attacks.
By 1105, Nikopelenos has a population of only around 5,000, though it maintains a B-class starport.
