Vard (0714 Old Expanses X9BA997-7): Red
Zone. Vards people are packed into shallow-water arcologies. Their
government is a veritable maze of agencies in charge of this and that,
often overlapping, never simple to cope with. Because of their sympathies
and active cooperation with the Solomani
rebels since the last war, Vard has
been interdicted by the Imperial
Navy.
The planetary tech level has been falling steadily since
contact was cut off, and the Scout Service predicts that soon the populace
will not be able to repair or maintain the arcologies. The IISS has thus
petitioned the Emperor for a lifting of the restrictions, lest they lead
to genocide. The Navy takes a dim view of this idea. If anything, the interdiction
has made the anti-Imperial attitudes worse over the years, but Vard would
be hard put to menace the Imperium
in its present condition. -oe
