====Star League era====

The success of [[Count of Bluford|Count]] [[William Reese]], who made his name and fortune by entering tontines with smokers, set off a global wave of interest in gambling activities in the [[twenty-seventh century]]. There was a twenty-two year period when everyone born was entered into a tontine by the planetary government, which was referred to as a "Life Lottery." By the end of the century, backlash began when problems with the system had become evident, and a movement to ban tontines developed. It was never successful, however, as it spawned the [[Bluford Gambling Association]] counter-movement which protested any attempts to infringe on the rights of people to gamble with their lives.<ref name=HD:FSp167>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 167: "The Richest Man on Bluford"</ref>

In [[3062]], Count [[Josiah Reese]] supported [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] as the rightful ruler of the Federated Commonwealth. A portion of the [[Bluford Militia]] rebelled against this decision including the CO [[William Bacchelaut]]'s childhood friend [[Michael Otis]].<ref name=BiAp3>''Brothers in Arms'', p. 3</ref> Bacchelaut commanded the remainder of the loyalist militia in an operation to eliminate the rebel forces.

The soil of Bluford's smallest, easternmost continent was, at least between the early [[twenty-sixth century]] through the early [[thirty-first century]], ideally suited for growing a strain of tobacco that was deadlier and more addictive than any previously known strain.<ref name=HD:FSp167/>
