Circa the 26th century, the system became part of the Earth Empire and its planets became colony worlds. The system was very unusual amongst the Empire in having its own constitutional monarchy, based on Folflower. In the late 29th century, the king of the system was Morrish a'Jethwa. He was regarded as a good ruler, but some resented the hereditary monarchy and wished for a more democratic leadership. On his death, a bloodless coup took place and republicans took over.
