History
The Far Plane Trading Company helped the Psychotic Assembly to province break this province away from the Phoenix Empire. The Assembly successfully expanded its holding, pushing into the Charystan cluster and triggering the most recent War of Law and Chaos. The Assembly lost.
After the war, the Malachite Empire occupied this land. The Djalos turned to the Far Plane Trading Company for backing. They successfully pushed the Malachites from the land, taking the county for their own profit. The Djalos milk the land for money to pay the exorbitant interest imposed by the FPTC, while continuing conflict keeps them buying arms and weapons.
