## History

### Colonization Period

Drakku was originally colonized in 3918 as part of a colonization mission by an Asgardian corporation. It was technically an independent system from the beginning, and in 3920 the colony leadership applied to join the Alliance of Independent Settlements. The AIS accepted their application in the same year.

### AIS Period

Drakku was mostly peaceful under AIS control, and rapidly became heavily entangled with the UEO. The main commerce in Drakku became slavery by 4000, as the local government turned a blind eye to the UEO's slave markets on Yonzippe. By 4050, the UEO had also opened a slave market on Biliv. While most of the slaves came from other star systems, some citizens of Drakku were also abducted and enslaved by the UEO. This occasionally caused minor armed conflicts to break out between the UEO and the friends and families of the slaves. In 4056, one of these battles, which took place on Biliv, caused over 50 UEO casualties and the deaths of 146 civilians, including many from the party who had attempted to free the slaves.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Drakku is a minor trading center, with many practically uncrewed space stations in the system and most of the citizens living in a single city centered around the spaceport on Yonzippe. The system is unsafe, although the stations are concentrated closely around the planet, because of the many mysterious attacks by unidentified ships which have occurred in the system. The attacking ships are of a completely unknown design, and are almost certainly not Kroll ships; the Kroll are almost always accused of being the guilty party whenever there is an attack by unidentified ships, although most of the time the accusation is untrue. The guilty party usually turns out to be the UEO, but the UEO don’t usually have the kind of firepower displayed by these ships. However, the unidentified ships in this system are still most likely to be UEO ships, since there is no other known organization that would condone such continuous unprovoked attacks. If you have a powerful ship with plenty of escorts, however, you should be safe, as almost all the attacks have been on lone ships which had already taken damage and were in the outer regions of the system. Most of this system's income comes from slavery, with over 5,000 slaves being sold here every Galactic Standard year. The system's government, ever ready to turn a blind eye to UEO slavers hoping to make extra profits, has not imposed any regulations which would make it more difficult for slavers to do their work in this system, although admittedly the AIS general code of law is not conducive to those trying to stop any criminal activities to begin with. The same rules apply to dealing with the slavers in this system as with those in other systems; don’t eject and always retreat if you know you are outmatched. The system's defense force is not very large and is deployed too inefficiently to really be a serious threat to slavers, so you should not expect help from them. Overall, this is not a good system to go to until you have a powerful ship and plenty of experience.
