Bardeezan: Difference between revisions

For decades, the Bardeezan people have suffered constant raids from their more powerful neighbours, the Dorfmen of [[Byzatium]], with many Bardeezans being taken as slave labour to work for the Dorfmen. Consequently, the Bardeezan rulers have appealed to the Federation and other neighbouring systems for help fighting off Dorfmen piracy. However, matters are complicated politically as the nominal Dorfmen government on Byzatium is allied to the Federation too, and blames the slave trade on rogues, brigands and privateers. The main assistance sent to the Bardeezans has come from the powerful [[Pythron|Pythrons]] who have sent equipment, supplies and instructors to boost the Bardeezans' defences. This makes Bardeez a firm ally of Pythro V, but some suspect that the Pythrons are more interested in extending their own influence in the region rather than from any altruism towards the Bardeezans.

A quirk of their culture is that everyone and place on Bardeez is numbered, so all proper nouns are a phonetic pronounciation of the first nine numbers. For example, [[Landinam Losifar|Landinam Losifar]] is 1-5-6-4.<br>
