Kanorb (2733 Corridor C473976-C): Kanorb has a
long history of settlement and fractious politics. Kanorb was a stronghold
of Vilani noble houses in the First
Imperium; it withdrew from Interstellar commerce early in the Rule
of Man period. When the Solomani
attempted to reintegrate Kanorb by force, the population put up fierce
resistance. The Solomani Navy was so overtaxed by the vastness of the Second
Imperium that they were never able to muster enough force to fight
a conclusive battle with Kanorb. After the Rule of Man fell, several of
the Vilani Lord began quarelling with each other, no longer having a common
cause to unite them. The world disintegrated into dozens of squabbling
nations during the Long Night.
The Third Imperium
first re-established trade relations with the nation Eshlepur, on the northern
continent. Now, most of the major power carry on interstellar trade, acting
independently under sometimes contradictory agreements. Smaller nations
group themselves into spheres of infuence around superpowers possesing
starports. Language have diverged
sharply from the original Vilani; some fifty dialects are now spoken on
the planet. -cor EA
