Named Tlaloc by the original discoverers, the planet was quickly renamed by its early inhabitants due to its "ring of fire", an area of strong vulcanic activity.The name is a reference to Siyaj K'ak', a prominent politician of the ancient Maya whose name glyph (meaning "Fire is born") was misinterpreted as "Smoking Frog" by scientists of a later period. The majority of colonists were lower and middle class people from Solarian League planets like Kemal, who wanted a better life in a new colony. However, the planet suffered economic trouble when the Manticore Wormhole Junction was discovered in 1585 PD, rerouting traffic between the League's core worlds and the Haven Quadrant away from Maya.
