The Cluster Falk: Notes

Notes page for The Cluster Falk

Altharetta system industrialized early and aggressively, in an attempt to catch up with the more developed systems around. Unfortunately, it was always a poor world, and extensive hydrocarbon deposits were all the wealth it really had. With the hydrocarbon oceans of so close by, they were the last thing anyone offworld needed. And in a feedback loop that no one had anticipated, the already dryish ecosystem of Altharetta started to dry up even more. The population started to panic and riot, and the factory owners turned to the military to defend them. General Ganash seized power, and now tries to repress all dissent and upheaval with an iron fist, but his clumsy policies are useless against the coming ecological disaster. All the neighbouring systems expect Altharetta to descend into anarchy and catastrophe shortly, and aside from a few do-gooders, no one wants to get involved.
