Fawcett's World was an uninhabited planet that was colonized by the Terran Confederation. However some time before 2634 the Empire of Kilrah granted it to the Vakka clan. The Kilrathi invaded the planet and the colonists were captured. Lord Vakka was assigned to spend some time there and evaluate the humans so that the Empire would prepare for an invasion. However, by knowing them better, Lord Vakka felt that humans were unlike other species they had encountered before, and firmly believed that they should be used as assets instead of underlings. He put the master of the planet Harga, as their retainer under his protection.
