[3132]Zavijava is an extremely volcanic world, so much so that high quantities of sulfur gas and other particulate
matter blown into the atmosphere by constant eruptions have rendered the air difficult to breathe without filter
masks, and prompted an ongoing exodus from the planet. The eruptions began rather suddenly in the twenty-fifth
century, long after the first settlers made planetfall on this otherwise unremarkable but heretofore terrestrial world.
Since then, the rate of eruptions has risen steadily through the years, to the point where no less than seven active
volcanic chains spew lava and ash on a weekly basis. The cause for Zavijava's geological woes has never been
adequately explained, and even stymied the Terran Hegemony's experts during the Star League era, but the
effects have been dramatic indeed. In almost six hundred years, the worldwide environment changed so radically
that most of the native animal species have gone extinct and temperatures worldwide have dropped nearly ten
degrees due to the "nuclear winter" effects of so much ash blown into the sky. The planetary population, once
numbering almost three billion, has also dropped steadily as the disturbances continue, but enough hearty souls
and mining corporations have remained behind to try to make the most of the situation. Adding to the declining
state of this world, of course, has been its history during the Succession Wars. As a Lyran-Free Worlds border
planet, Zavijava has naturally been the target of countless raids and military campaigns in the centuries since the
fall of the Star League. Like many other worlds in the region, it also suffered during the Lyran-Skye conflicts that
erupted during the Jihad. In the most devastating of these strikes, renegade Marik troops assaulted the planetary
spaceport near the capital city of Tzion. The resulting firefight left the capital in flames and cost the lives of over
five thousand warriors and civilians. Unlike its neighbors, Zavijava did not receive reconstruction assistance after
the world was ceded to The Republic, owing to the ongoing departure of its inhabitants due to the planet's natural
crisis. Instead, a new spaceport was constructed near the city of Noé , on the northern continent of Peninah,
which was also designated as the new administrative capital of Zavijava. The ruins of Tzion, now cleared away,
stood on the southern continent, Velvel. In their place now stands a memorial to the fallen on both sides of the
Jihad.
of Prefecture VIII under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic was
created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Zavijava remained part of The Republic and is now under its protection, inside the Fortress Republic.
