===Planetary History===
 
Porrima has abundant, but not overwhelming, supplies of industrial metals, gemstones, and arable land. The first settlers to the world were ready to build a thriving colony on the calm world they'd seen as part of the survey. Unfortunately Porrima had its own ideas. Every sixty-two years Chira (a neighboring world) orbits closely to Porrima and affects the weather patterns. Instead of the calm breezes and abundant sunlight they'd been expecting, the colonists faced hurricanes, thunderstorms, powerful lightning strikes, and heavy rains that quite literally washed away the first settlements.<ref name=HB:HSp86/>
 
  
Once they discovered that the wild weather of the "wet seasons" would occur every century, the colonists moved their cities to higher elevations and included storm mitigation features that reduced the worst effects of the wild weather. The capital, Allison City, is surrounded by a series of dikes and canals to redirect water from storm surges, and it's surrounded by high walls to block the worst of the winds. Cities on the northern continent are located far away from the seas. The vast distance inland reduces access to the water that makes the storms so deadly.<ref name=HB:HSp86/>

On 6 January [[3072]], eleven men entered the Derrick Street Branch of the Clandon City Bank. Sixteen hours later, nine of them were dead and the others in police custody after a daring tactical raid by the Clandon City Police Force. A silent alarm informed the police of the robbery, and the bank was secured. After negotiations failed, the Police Tactical Squad took over and assaulted the bank. Twenty-nine members of Clandon City PTS moved in and engaged the hostage takers. In the end, two hostages, sixty-three year old [[Samson Ford]] and twenty-nine year old [[Rachelle Givens]], were killed by the kidnappers during the assault. The two captured were being held by the Clandon City police in their barracks on I Street.<ref name=Porrima/>
