Ghandith Zken

> "*Perhaps the picture perfect vision that the Marric Union had conceived, Ghandith Zken is a paradise to those of any upbringing. It is the true face of proper Marric values, and it holds a place in my heart specifically for many good reasons and a few that shall not go discussed in public. However, enough about the bureaucratic crap, speeches are not enough to describe what opportunities lay here but I give it the proper seal of approval from a man who has little to find happiness in anymore. Ghandith wants you, and you definitely want it! The vision of the Marric resonates within you my people, do not let it down*"

**Ghandith Zken** is a urban wonder of the Marric Union, and one of the most dense and successful colonies. It was established around the time of **7,040 PR** as a cooperative culture settlement to see if many cultures were able to live under the same roof successfully. The originally experiment colony was quick to become in the forefront of colonial financial success, and brought about a smooth transition into a cultural hub of the early nation way before the Union of Provinces even existed.

An originally successful agrarian world, as more population came for its natural beauty and rich earth, cities were erected albeit somewhat small. In modern days, the large city of Deiyunis sits atop as a cultural beacon for the Union, with any culture being allowed to preach and teach in its large spanning lush continents.

## History

### Marric Colonialism (7,040 - 9,479 PR)

Following a bitter end to the once powerful and influential program of cultural instillation, the original interstellar government known as the **Interstellar Divejiddan Crown** was rewritten to be a progressive feat of cooperative achievements such as cooperative culture programs where colonies were settled with the goal of understanding new races and species in a different light. Ghandith Zken was among one of the first cooperative culture programs set in place and was the most successful in its goal. As Colonialism spread out among the stars with a new minister put in place to oversee each flag planted down on a settlement, Ghandith became a wonder of the nation and was propped up as the gem of the Divej Region. However, as time rose on and cultures diversified, it was only a matter of time before its own political ideologies formed, and second and third generation Ghandithians pledged their allegiance solely to the preservation of the planet. However, while cooperative cultural rights were a thing, the overall civil rights of most citizens were horrid as big corporations had most control over large swathes of colonies during the **Marric Colonial Era** and it would be a long while before reforms happened that crippled the near slavery conditions presented by places like **Fadei Starcorp**.

As more colonies came to fruition and the large corporations that ran amuck continued to take all they pleased, more species were discovered with nearly identical levels of space exploration, yet had not left their home systems. After light skirmishes took place between natives and Divejiddan Agatrops, many species such as **Progentirr** and the **Maurchin** started coming to Gnadith Zken as a way to escape the cultural prejudices brought on from the annexation of their homeworlds.

### Colonial Reformation Period (9,479 - 10,176 PR)

Following the formation of a new government back on Divejidda, a period of reformation was taking hold in the colonies of the Agatropian lands. New clusters of stars meant more worlds for possible colonization, but was now under the direct influence of the government once more which meant development was much slower than with a heinous corporation at the throats of the people. With settling having slowed down more than they were used to, it gave many new settlers times to work on community growth too, such being cultural distinctions and unofficial holidays beginning to form. Along with that, the government had begun to expand its influence once more on these new worlds, by putting governmental state buildings in secure locations, and setting up large communication towers to keep in touch.

The expansion of the Agatropian people onto new worlds brought up the quality of rights and equal opportunity of the settlers. The Colonial Reformation period was the right time to begin drafting out the constitution of future generations, and the concurrent rights of the hardworking citizens of new worlds. When the hammer was brought down upon the megacorporations, many citizens of Ghandith Zken were able to simultaneously give a breath of relief. The scourge of corporate greed having been vanquished allowed for Ghandithian culture to flourish and rise to the upper echelons of high class fame.

Around the year of **10,179 PR**, the government had declared its migration treaty with the Tol'kak, and took it as the best time to roll out a proper bill of rights. The bill of rights was set to include any new species brought under the Government of Divej's wings. It then brought some immigration of another new species to the ports of Ghandith Zken, where wondrous new artistic values and places of military appreciation can find its home.

### Marric Union (10,176 PR - *Present*)

The planet of Ghandith Zken stood proud throughout most of its history, and became a shining diamond in the dust and smog of the squabbling slums around it. It stood large as the first Union of Marric formed to control the colonies it had once funded, and still the planet of Ghandith remained a shiny star amongst the giants such as Divejidda. As it gained more and more influence from thousands of different cultural backgrounds, it was officially announced the face of the Marric Union's never-ending quest for cultural might. It was among the first colonies to receive an official banner from the legitimized government of the Union, and was at the forefront of ingenuity and producers of its growing economy.

As the Union of Marric became a legitimate nation, and all of its influence began to spread as the ruling figure in Colonial politics, a call for oligarchic roots started unsurprisingly from the planet of Ghandith Zken, due to its multiple military cultures being a prominent feature. The stratocratic background of the Tol'kak and the mafia-state ran Maurchin people both agreed along with its more recent comrades that a council at the time was the best path forward and the shouting and pledges from people of all planetary backgrounds in the new nation agreed wholeheartedly.

During the gradual buildup of power inside the Marric Union, the wars against the neighboring nation known as the **Tyravian Confederacy** had soon came, with many Ghandithian people signing up to be apart of the war. This was seen at first as a good thing, but as the wars waged on over the years less people saw the conflicts as a necessity but instead the government trying to puff out its chest to seem strong to the people, and as a propaganda tactic. However, once the Second Tyravian Conflict came along in the early **1400s**, a rekindled fire alit inside the Ghandithians as news spread out that the Tyravians had nuked the colony of **Deu'nacht** into an inhospitable state.

Many Ghandithians had lost their loved ones throughout the wars and the eventual annexation of the Tyravian Confederacy only poured salt in the wounds of many as they were right away given the same rights as everyone else. The planets inhabitants were also among the first to begin protesting openly against the conflicts over the years, generation after generation they all professed their contempt. Years after the wars, Ghandith Zken also suffered the relapse of a great economic collapse inside the Union which left many homeless and jobless in their cities as well as drove some to form the first bouts of renowned organized crime groups.

Even in the present day, many politicians and many more local heroes have ties back to this planet, yet they also have some evidence of being involved in the smuggling and illegal trafficking of different contrabands to gain a profit in the cities. However, not many are willing to come forward and incriminate themselves or the powerful druglords with politicians in their pockets. The overall climate left behind from many thousands of years of history has enriched the culture of the planet.
