Gallia



Gallia

Former United Earth Colony - Union Planet -

Located in the Old Xunx Expanse - (Pleiades ) Upward Sector (about 444 light years from Terra)

The second planet in the Lumina Blanco system, is at the very edge of what Earthers call still today the Plejades.

It was also the core region of the Xunx.

Gallia was surveyed in 2199 and once was a Gardenworld, but it had been visited by the Xunx and became a so called "Devoured World "

While it had only remnants of its former bio sphere, it still had a NiOx atmosphere and plenty of water.

It ws chosen by a Earth group of mixed European and middle eastern descent and mostly moderate Muslim believes.

Gallia was named after Charles Galliam the groups leader.

The colony had the misfortune to be within range of the Neo Vikings and was raided by them twice.

Gallia became a Union Member society in 2229 and kept on developing as a major agricultural poducer of such products as :

Dates, Bananas, Coconuts, oranges, Juniper berries and honey as the core produce (many similar Earth imported produce is also grown.

Today Gallia has almost completley switched to honey, pollen, wax and Klack Honey wine production. The steadily growing demand of honey and honey wine by the Klack

make Gallia a busy and wealth world, with many Bee Farmers (Bee Keepers of Industrial scale) being Millionairs.

The steady profit created a very well kept world with several modern cities.

Local ordinances are strict in terms of import of life animals. Import of live insects is regulated.

About 2 Billion inabitants live on Gallia and eighty percent are engaged in some aspect of Honey production. Reaching 15.3 million tons annualy.

The main settlement has been renamed to:  Golden Nectar (original name has been forgotten)  There are trade conventions, test labs and the only Bee Hospital in the known universe.

It should be noted that visitors are encouraged to wear "Bee Suits" when leaving the Space Port. Wild or "loose" bee swarms are very common.
