The [[Canon|apocryphal]] novel [[Karma]] notes that the Free Worlds League captured Sadurni from the Capellan Confederation "a few years" prior to [[3028]] for the explicit purpose of pressing Capellan citizens into service for [[SAFE]], the League's secret service. This must obviously have occurred prior to [[3025]] judging from canonical sources, and presumably also prior to the [[3022]] [[Concord of Kapteyn]] that created a standoff between the League and the Confederation.
The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'', set around the year [[3025]], gives a population of 456 million for Sadurni and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical").
