## History

Colonized in -281 NAC by a Cestian mining company known as Utalja Mining Corp, the planet was originally the corporations base of operations for several years and a primarily wild world with only miners and suits living upon it. After the company went bankrupt and split into several local businesses, Atilik became governed by the local nobility which arose from the common populace. Considered the wealthiest amongst their peers, House Andrel were ex-workers within the Utalja Corporation and helped lessen the damage done to the local populace by their bankruptcy. Footing the bill for downtrodden families and bringing together the fledgling community, Andrel helped them weather the storm financially and was by popular decision exalted to the role of Alcade.

Governing fairly and sticking to the planets more industrial roots, Atilik remained a prosperous if not small mining planet up until the Hallow War which saw the worlds financial situation spiral out of control and its populace fleeing for better opportunities. Numbering among them was Andrel which had to abandon their estate in hopes of finding safety from Coronan forces. Abandoned and left to decay, the Kingdom of Zoscia came across the empty world of Atilik and uncovered its history which was left bare inside the various buildings. Characterized as a traditional community united in song and spirit, their tale touched the invaders hearts who decided upon naming the humble world as ZOZ's capital after the wars conclusion. Rich in resources and fertile farmland, its rocky terrain made it a challenge for Coronan settlers that worked to preserve the historical communities of Atilik and forge new ones around them.

Tracking down the various families to return their valuables and grant them money for their homes seizure, the old settlements have been marked as historical sites. Continuing their mining operations and daily lives, Zoscia begins to forge its own history among a foreign world just like the original settlers.
