A race of hardy space pioneers, the Bardeezans are traders, pilots, couriers and even smugglers. Their squat appearance, tanned complexion and hearty manner make them great drinking companions and trusted friends - so long as you don't cross them in business. | A race of hardy space pioneers, the Bardeezans are traders, pilots, couriers and even smugglers.

The Bardeezans have had an industrial society, all be it low scale, for several centuries. A fairly peaceful race, records of wars on their home planet between tribes are sparse. For a long time now, Bardeez has been ruled as one state. | |||
The most significant event in the recent history of the Bardeezans is their involvement, unwittingly, in the [[Byzatium#Pythro-Byzallian War|Pythro-Byzallian War]]. | |||
The pretext for the war had its origins in border disputes between the Bardeezans their neighbours the Byzallians in the Vectis System. For years the Byzallians had been taking many Bardeezans as ‘Hotch’ (slave) labour. In time, the hard pressed Bardeezans turned to their powerful allies the Pythrons for support. | |||
The Pythrons sent an Army of Observation to Bardeez to bolster the planets defences. An ultimatum was also sent to Byzatium, hoping to give them one final warning to stop ravaging the Bardeez population. When the Byzallian Government professed no knowledge of their slave trade, the Pythrons were unimpressed. In 2388, the Pythron President J’Eyga ordered his Army of Observation to go on the offensive, and become an Army of Execution and invade Byzatium itself under the command of Marshal Karinus LeNoir. | |||
