## History

### Colonization Period

Narfinol was originally colonized by the Bandorian Protectorate in 3826. It rapidly grew in population and industrial capabilities until around 3950, when it began to enter a phase of economic and populational stagnation.

### Bandorian Period

Narfinol was relatively peaceful under Protectorate rule, until the rise of the Cult of Naim in around 3950. The Cult of Naim were a pseudo-religious group prone to violence and aggressive expansionary tactics, originally starting out in the Okrobina Desert in the northern hemisphere of Saldirim, but soon spreading over most of the moon's northern hemisphere through tactics of incredible violence and terrorism on a scale never seen before. Led by a man only known as "Naim", they caused an estimated ten million civilian casualties in the conflict from 3950 to 3967, when the Cult of Naim was finally destroyed. The Cult used antimatter devices to cause immense destruction, including multiple attacks against major cities, and reduced the system's overall population to less than ten million total citizens, of whom less than two million were living on Saldirim. Powerful Bandorian military and paramilitary forces in space, including the Santonian Order and many bounty hunters, were deployed to keep the Cult from spreading to Yildirim. It was established that Naim used drugs, combined with a poorly understood (at least, according to public records) telepathic ability, to influence the minds of his followers to perform his will. After the destruction of the Cult, Narfinol began to return to its former population and economic growth rates, although Saldirim always had a much lower population than Yildirim.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Narfinol is a medium population Bandorian Outer Worlds colony with factories of Spirit Shipyards and Seldar Shipyards. The system is quite safe now, although in fairly recent history, it was home to the Cult of Naim, an aggressive expansionist terrorist organization that killed many civilians and caused many others to flee, becoming refugees in a conflict that spanned 17 years. However, there is still a massive population difference between the two inhabited moons, with Saldirim, the former location of the Cult of Naim, having far fewer citizens than Yildirim. Saldirim also has significantly worse infrastructure, crime rates, and lower development rating compared to Yildirim. Various splinter groups of the Cult of Naim still exist in hiding, although elements of the Protectorate Ground Forces are deployed to the system to assist in exterminating any of these groups when they are discovered by local law enforcement.
