Remarks:
An independent world just beyond the boundaries of the Carrillian
Assembly, Yarhfahl has long been considered more important for its position
in space than for any intrinsic value of the world itself. Since the Assembly
colonization of nearby Ildrissar
(Reavers' Deep 2326), Yarhfahl has been a necessary staging point for commercial
traffic between the Assembly and the new colony, and enjoyed a small spurt of
economic growth as a result of this traffic. Locally, however, there was and is
little to attract interest to Yarhfahl itself. Modest fishing and pelagic
maricultural industries support the majority of the 19 million people inhabiting
the world.
With
the recent outbreak of rebellion on Ildrissar, Yarhfahl has assumed an even
greater strategic importance. One of the first responses of the Assembly was to
orbit a large fleet at Yarhfahl, setting the world up as a staging area for
operations against the Ildrissaran rebels. Local shipping was seized and pressed
into service and the Yarhfahlan government forced to cooperate in various
'protective measures', which virtually eliminated the world as an independent
entity. Without a local army or navy of its own, Yarhfahl has been unable to
offer significant resistance.
Agents
of the Ildrissaran rebels have been attempting to stir up trouble on Yarhfahl
and a limited resistance movement has formed to begin striking back at the
Assembly.
