What colonial development should look like, Norian is a typical high-tech garden world with modern, sustainable cities accentuated against a lush environment. Norian's colonists have been a little more concerned with the environment around them than some other Mathenite worlds and Norian remains a shinning example of proper colonial development, if a bit provincial and novel in the eyes of the Homeworld. | What colonial development should look like, Norian is a typical high-tech garden world with modern, sustainable cities accentuated against a lush environment.

Nuradem was settled by two separate colonial endeavors, one was an expedition funded by several nations of Call, the other, was an assemblage of ships bought by a refugee population from Eviteria, fleeing religious persecution. The latter group landed first and immediately disappeared into the jungle, conquering the native peoples and carving out a new homeland for themselves on a new planet. When the next group arrived, they found themselves embroiled in a conflict between the other Mathenite colonists and the native peoples of the region. It took years for the various parties to exhaust themselves and agree to a quasi-peace agreement, that in the end, only increased tensions as the various factions fortified their positions. For the past 200 years a sort of Cold War has raged on the planet that put a stop to any sort of significant colonial development, despite Nuradem's vast resources. | |||
Today, there are 4 relevant groups in Nuradem's current events, 2 Mathenite and 2 Native. The Himarii are a Mathenite ethno-religious group and the descendants of those who fled the Homeworlds to find a better place to live and worship in peace. They have carved out their own state to the north of the Moravar Jungle, and continue to war against native tribes in small border skirmishes that are slowly increasing their territory. The other Mathenite group, is made up of a CA military garrison and their families, along with substantial corporate personnel. One of the Native groups, known as the Ki-Kai, are considered 'unclean' or 'untouchable' by other natives of the area, and are subject to widespread abuse and torture by those of higher castes. The Ki-Kai almost immediately sought refuge with the Himarii when they landed, but were slaughtered along with most other natives the Himarii came across. When the other expedition landed however, the Ki-Kai were eventually welcomed as valued interpreters of native customs and languages, though they were unable to accompany expedition officials to peace talks directly. It was their knowledge that eventually allowed a sort of peace to be forged amongst the groups. Following the peace, a massive movement of Ki-Kai came to Mathenite controlled areas, seeking sanctuary, which they were given. In recent years however, Ki-Kai immigration has had to be curtailed to maintain the peace with the neighboring tribes, stranding many Ki-Kai in precarious positions. The Ki-Kai within the Mathenite zones are well integrated however, and are completely loyal to the Colonial Authority. The other Native group consists of various tribes in the surrounding jungles, which stage widespread Guerrilla against CA and Himarii alike. As a result of a pseudo-technological exchange with the Cardassians, these tribes also now have access to advanced weapons and technology that they use to carry out terrorist actions within the Mathenite zones, directing at CA and Ki-Kai alike. | |||
As the survival of the Ki-Kai is dependent on a continued Mathenite presence, along with the refusal of the Himarii to leave the planet or even negotiate, the extremely mineral wealth of the small Mathenite zones, and the planet's strategic position between the Federation, Cardassian Union and Mathenite space proper, Nuradem is often seen as a powder cake that is just waiting to explode, and one the Federation has it's eyes on. | |||
