| - First colonized between 2450 and 2550 by settlers from Holy Terra, this world was originally called Chauchu. Early settlers were economically marginalized anti-capitalists who bought the world from corporate owners. These settlers largely ignored the rest of the universe and lived peacefully among themselves. The planet was conquered in the 30th century by the Li Halan, wanting to control the exotic animal exports that had become popular at that time. The populace resisted Li Halan rulership fiercely, and the Li Halan were ill prepared for arctic conditions. Princess Theodora (pre-45th century) bioengineered a plague to wipe out the Tuktuvak herds, which the rural communities relied upon for food. The resulting famine wiped out huge numbers of people, which Theodora meant as a sacrifice to her demonic overlord; over 40% of the population died as a result. The planet urbanized under House Li Halan, but also saw a massive proliferation of religious sects. During Second Republic the planet suffered severly since it could not compete economically and most of its poor were unregistered with the welfare system. However, many supported the Republic anyways, even as it was collapsing, out of fear of a return of the demonic Li Halan lords. The Li Halan did return, and the depravity and cruelty resumed just as before. The Li Halan did, however, allow all manner of Church sects to thrive, especially the Eskatonics, Preceptors, and Incarnates. In 4414, under Prince Rikard Cardano, the Li Halan began a righteous and just rule of the planet - reduced taxes, managed Tuktuvak herds, promoted commerce, etc. The new Li Halan rule, however, also came with the price of religious persecution of non-Orthodox sects; many were killed, others fled into the wilderness. All non-Orthodox sects were outlawed under the Li Halan. Decados liberation of Malignatius during the Emperor Wars took less than 5 years and used many spec ops - kossacks, dervishes, grimsons, cybercorps, etc. The Decados halted the persecution of non-Orthodox sects and now it was Orthodox priests that fled and many Li Halan priests were discovered to be Manja worshippers. Today religious diversity is rampant again - Incarnates, Gjarti, Preceptors, Hesychasts, etc.
