History & Background (Dossier)
Garda-Vilis was settled ca. -121 and originally called Tanoose. The settlement failed within a few decades (for reasons unknown), and the colony was taken over by the government of Vilis (Spinward Marches 1119) to prevent its extinction. At this time, the name was changed to Garda-Vilis, which means 'new Vilis' in one of the local dialects. The only industries on the planet are wholly owned by the government of Vilis. This is done in a conscious attempt to keep the colony economically dependent.
Even though very few of the current inhabitants are direct descendants of the original colonists, there is widespread popular dissatisfaction with the ruling council of Vilisan military officers. This led to a small rebellion in 1103, which was put down at the cost of what little remaining popular support the council had, and galvanized the entire population against the council, except for the few million employed by the starport or the world's few industries. Vilis military intelligence has recently learned that one or more off-planet agencies have been smuggling arms and equipment to the rebellion, which has grown tremendously in size.
The resistance movement, calling itself the Tanoose Freedom League (TFL), has always taken great pains to demonstrate their basic loyalty to the Imperium, and has never damaged Imperial property or personnel. In 1083 when the Ine Givar terrorists attempted to recruit the TFL into their organization, the bodies of the Ine Givar agents were found just outside the entrance to the Scout Base. This was interpreted as a rejection of the Ine Givar overtures.
Although TFL activity has not increased, government informers have revealed that quantities of money and arms, including military weapons such as tac missiles, have been smuggled on-world in recent months. Local officials fear that a shift has taken place in the leadership of the TFL, and the organization may now be cooperating with one or more enemies of Vilis and/or the Imperium.
