==Planetary History==
−
The planet's history changed with the discovery of a unique form of citrus fruit tree. The [[Meat Tree]] was found in the deep jungles of the planet's equatorial regions and has the same taste and consistency of cooked beef. Needless to say, this fruit became a massive cash crop and the planet's cities and distribution centers grew up around the groves. The wealth this crop generated attracted the interest of raiders and pirates. Thus the [[Star League]] stationed a garrison of the [[Star League Defense Force]] to protect the world.<ref name=FMSLDFp183 />
