History[]
At the time of the Bio-Digital Plague outbreak, Tanna settlement was only twenty-two years old, with Population of seven thousand, mostly miners and their families as well as infrastructure support personnel. It was somewhat industrialized, yet still dependent on support from the core worlds to survive. They were expect to had a hard time of it after the plague struck. million. Our world was still sparsely populated. The plague that devastated our original settlements a millennium ago left only a few hundred people alive. They existed in small villages that were spread few and far between. Over the centuries, those villages grew into cities, then nations. When the Jung came, we had only just begun to reach orbit again. We were not prepared to defend our world against aggressors from space.”

“I cannot. The only inhabited system we have a chance of reaching is 72 Herculis, and it will take twenty-seven years, four months, and sixteen days.” “I never heard of it,” Petra said. “It was settled twenty years ago by a small group of one hundred people. However, as it is forty-nine light years from Earth, and no other ships have visited the system, we only know that the settlers were delivered successfully to the surface. There is no information about the condition of their settlement.”

Jung Occupation[]
The Jung occupation started sometime before 3442. They leveled entire cities with nuclear weapons. Tanna was on the extreme edge of Jung occupied space.
It was liberated with help of the Alliance ship Aurora and its compliment of Ghatazhak warriors.
Nathan walked down the streets of Klondell, a small city a few hundred kilometers from the capital of Tanna. The streets were poorly maintained and suffered from obvious neglect and indifference by the local government. The buildings were somewhat densely packed, and were mixed in tightly with a forest of old-growth trees the

Sol-Pentaurus Alliance[]
After the Jung occupation and bombardment of Earth, thousands of Terran refugees were sent to Tanna to bolster its workforce and industrial strength. Port Terra was the gateway to the Terran enclave. Abigail Sorensen and her family were among the many evacuees fromEarth approximately forty-seven light years from Earth, and just over fifty-five light years from Tau Ceti. The 72 Herculis system was one of the first systems to be liberated by Captain Scott and the Aurora more than ten months ago, long before the main forces of the Alliance arrived in the Sol sector. Since then, the Tannan people have welcomed nearly one million Terran refugees, and have provided abundant amounts of propellant to the Alliance. In exchange, the Alliance has provided the Tannans with the Takaran fabricator technology, which has greatly accelerated the Tannans’ recovery since the Jung were driven from their world.”
