Description: It is a matter of dispute whether Ikram has always been in its current ecological predicament, or whether the frequent, devastating snow storms that carve through the planet's surface were result of some intelligent act. It is well known to the planet's inhabitants that at some point they were a target of massed human invasion, one of the worlds marked to become the latest territorial acquisition during the humanity's attempt at subjugating the known galaxy. Whatever prominence and prosperity Ikram enjoyed in their home sector was lost during that invasion, although in the end Ikram and its inhabitants managed to retain their independence after prolonged resistance to human occupation. In the aftermath, Ikram was able to gain some manner of political stability and economic recovery, although they were not able to extend this into an interstellar influence, while retaining deep-sated hatred towards anything human. In the recent history their development begun to change after a sudden arrival of strange starships carrying entirely mechanical crews. These aliens presented themselves as merchants and traders, aware of Ikram's past and aspirations to become a prosperous local power once again, so they offered the planet a form of partnership. In exchange for Ikram's resources and alliance, they would provide protection and starships so that the planet could extend its reach. Ikram accepted, becoming the first world aligned with the Metal Lords in current age.
Reasoning: To provide background and setting for the starting world for the Metal Lords faction.
