Planetary History[edit]
Saiph was described as settled early in the expansion of mankind to the stars and was quickly under Capellan Confederation control at the formation of the state. The planet was noted for its foreboding mountain terrain and independent-minded, warlike native population. These factors led House Liao to never develop the planet, beyond the use of scattered agriculture, natural resources, and raw materials available. Large population centers failed and the Capellan Confederation instead used political prisoners and criminals to settle the world.[1]
Saiph fell to the Federated Commonwealth in the Fourth Succession War, with little difference to the population's daily life, and joined the Saiph Triumvirate alongside Tall Tress and New Canton in the aftermath of the Marik-Liao Invasion of 3057 of the Sarna March. The Fifth Lyran Regulars quickly abandoned Saiph and Tall Trees when recalled. Ethnically centered guerilla movements took over various areas while pro-Liao forces controlled the few mountain cities and the two spaceports onworld.[1][44]
