Planetary Info
Qandahar is a world that was totally exploited by humanity for its vast natural resources. Unfortunately the early settlers didn't show any care in handling the output of their factories and this has led the ecosystem of Qandahar to collapse. The largely Arab population has frequently clashed with the Combine administrators, trying in vain to clean up the world. The toxic pollution was so bad that by 3025 50% of the native lifeforms were extinct, and other lifeforms had to live in domed cities. The only organisms that could successfully live outside the domed cities were the Toxic Life Forms. Developed on Terra in the mid-22nd century, these organisms consumed and digested toxic waste.[1]
In the early 31st century a small underground movement named the "Holy Struggle" attempted to shut down the Dow-Nexus Fusion Products factories because they were unsafe for their employees, causing many unnecessary deaths. Though the ISF had several informers and agents in place to destroy the Holy Struggle they didn't actually do so because the Dragon also wanted to chastise Dow-Nexus.[1]
Early in the Jihad the Sixth Pesht Regulars were transferred to Kaznejov to deter the Federated Suns. Qandahar was raided by the Word of Blake's 14th Division.[5] Shortly thereafter supporters of the Black Dragon Society in the local government and industry were able to take control of the world and direct the output of the factories to other rebel units. The 10th Pesht Regulars and 2nd An Ting Legion landed in 3077 and destroyed those rebel forces still in charge. The two DCMS units held the world under martial law until a new civilian government could be installed.[6]
Though it is a prefecture capital system, the toxic nature of the world and the reliance on domed cities with limited growth potential restrict how Qandahar interacts with other government agencies. For example, Qandahar rarely hosts summits or conferences.[7]
