The Third [[Imperium]] did not contact Saxe until [[308]], and literally stumbled over the inhabitants. The Imperium's low TL (12-13) prevented them from offering much in the way of technical assistance, and there was much debate within [[IISS]] over the world's disposition in relation to both the Imperium and the [[Darrian Confederation]]. In the end, an IISS contact team was permanently stationed in the city to observe but otherwise not interfere with the inhabitants. The Daryen Confederacy also posted a team of advisers to the planetary government early on, but friction with the locals led to its recall, and the Confederacy largely ignored them until the [[Collapse]]. | The Third [[Imperium]] did not contact Saxe until [[308]], and literally stumbled over the inhabitants.

Two trends rescued the colony: the [[Regency]]'s advancement to {{TL|16}}, and the Daryen Renaissance. Over the last 50 years, Regency and Daryen engineers have figured out and managed to refurbish or replace many of the city's failing systems. The landing pad on the cities upper hemisphere has been expanded into a full starport, and there is no talk of either expanding the facility or of replacing with a larger facility of new construction. | Two trends rescued the colony: the [[Regency]]'s advancement to {{TL|16}}, and the Daryen Renaissance.
