When farsighted colonists from Terra's Indian subcontinent settled Bharat, they brought dozens of tree and animal
species with them to take advantage of the planet's low gravity and wet, warm climate. By the founding of the
First Star League, Bharat was renowned as planet-wide nature and hunting preserve for noble and commoner
alike.
The variety of terrain offers highly distinctive native life forms; large lizard-like animals similar to the Terran
Komodo dragon are abundant in the desert areas, while the forests teem with opossum-like creatures who are so
agile either on the ground or in trees that only the most excellent marksman can bring one down. Along the
seacoast, there are fat but graceful land/sea mammals that seem to disappear without a trace at the first scent of
humans. In addition, there is a small mushroom-like plant that can uproot itself to move to more fertile ground or
to avoid danger. All of these life forms are adept at avoiding traps, and all of them are delicious.
With the signing of the Star League Accords in 2569, the Terran Hegemony, and Terra in particular, became an
important center of activity. Naturally, the Court of the Star League in Unity City was the prime focus.
To show the united nature of the League, the interior of the court was built with materials from every corner of
human space. From Bharat, teakwood was carved by artisans and encrusted with gems.
Apart from its rare-wood exports, attempts to industrialize Bharat mostly failed. Bharat's only military
manufacturer, Killosh Industries, declared bankruptcy when its Magi anti-infantry tank suffered poor sales.
Killosh eventually retooled to produce logging equipment and vehicles for Bharat's lumber companies.
After the fall of the First Star League, the Capellan Confederation claimed Bharat. With no industrial resources,
Bharat stayed untouched through most of the Succession Wars, and Capellans vacationed on Bharat to hunt the
planet's unusual and delicious reptiles, sea mammals, and mobile fungi. The Federated Suns took Bharat from the
Capellan Confederation with little bloodshed in the Fourth Succession War, and Bharat enjoyed continued
prosperity during the Second Star League.
The southern continent of Vidya is home to the capital of Chakra. The two northern continents are Veerta and
Vinamrata.

prosperity during the Second Star League.
The ensuing Blakist Holy War disrupted Bharat’s economy, and Bharat’s population suffered as huge
“reeducation camps” were established in the remote reaches of the planet’s rain forests. Although Bharat’s
tourism industry was forever lost, the planet’s logging industry eventually recovered during the Golden Age of
Peace.
Jacob Bannson recently bought a controlling interest in Killosh Industries, which is located on the southern
continent of Vidya, also home to the capital of Chakra. The two northern continents are Veerta and Vinamrata.
[3132] Bharat was originally part of the Federated Suns until the creation of The Republic. Bharat became part of
Prefecture IV 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] Bharat was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Bharat fell under the influence of the Tikonov territory.
