## History

Inem was first discovered in 998.M30 by explorators who took notice of the green-red mix of the planets leaves. But history prevented a colonisation through imperial settlers until M38 when the 45th Catachan Jungle Fighters cleared the world of pirate settlements. Early in the colonisation discovered Margo Biologi hundreds of substances suitable for drugs, like painkillers or anti-bacterial meds, and this number grew only over time to 1.595 substances coming from Inem with a few hundreds being imported fromm off-world. Settlements grew over time to tower cities to preserve as much of the rainforests and place for plantages as possible, becoming well-known marvels of engineering in the Leman Sector alongside the picturous rainforests.
