Planetary History[edit]

Star League Era[edit]

With the resurgence of interest in Japanese culture, the local Moslem population rose up in rebellious protest against the forces teaching of Buddhism in the schools. This was met with swift vengeance by the Internal Security Force who used brutal tactics to get rid of foreign influences.[6]

The Star League Defense Force kept a sizable garrison on planet at all times. Officially, this was to take advantage of the vast deserts across the world for desert training. Unofficially, the SLDF feared a rebellion so wanted a large force on hand in case of an uprising. Though the chance of such was low as the Arkab people preferred the SLDF troops to the Combine's.[35]

Jihad[edit]

On 12 February 3071, Arkab was struck by an asteroid strike that devastated the local population, killing tens of thousands and leading to an urgent appeal from the Azami to the Draconis Combine government for aid. At the time, there was no response from the Combine authorities, who were dealing with attacks from inside and outside the Draconis Combine.[36] Given the existence of the Word of Blake Erinyes vessel and its implicit - or explicit - involvement in the asteroid bombardment of Lopez and Taurus during the Jihad, it may be that the asteroid strike on Arkab was not a natural phenomenon.
