Siduka is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Core Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

History & Background (Dossier)

The humans on Alterra were isolated during the Long Night and lost their sense of history and relationship to the wider universe. By the time they were recontacted in the first years of the Third Imperium, a popular belief system had arisen stating that Alterrans (humans) were the only intelligent life in the universe. Contact was thus received poorly, and the result was a nuclear war between local factions already on edge due to conflict over declining resources. The majority of the 400 million inhabitants died.

The Imperium avoided the devastated world in the aftermath, in part because it had nothing to trade, and the few survivors formed a coalition uniting Alterra under a tyrannical government to stave off "alien invasion". Several visiting ships were subsequently shot down. Reverse-engineering them and creating their own interstellar craft, the people of Alterra became a minor menace to surrounding systems, albeit eventually a footnote in history.

By 1105, Siduka is an unremarkable Imperial member world with 2,000,000 inhabitants.
