Early History

By the 2350s the Tikonov Grand Union - of which Azha was a member - was experiencing severe turmoil due to internal economic problems and external conflicts. Having lost a war with the Terran Hegemony over the worlds of the Chisholm Protectorate in the late 2330s,[37] the Grand Union then found itself battling the Federated Suns in the 2340s.[2] The nearby Sarna Supremacy looked to capitalise on the Grand Union's problems by annexing various Grand Union worlds, initiating a brutal two-year war.[2] Azha suffered badly in the war,[1] and in 2358, the new president of the Capellan Commonality, Selek Tucas, declared himself the arbitrater of the dispute between the Supremacy and the Grand Union and awarded ownership of several worlds including Azha to the Supremacy;[3] despite this, by 2366 Azha would be a member of the Tikonov Grand Union again.[4]

Succession Wars

Azha was very important to the CCAF because even though it's a small world it possesses an excellent strategic location. The Strategios placed Procurement Division offices that served the Tikonov and Sarna Commonalities on Azha. Though it has enough farmland to support its population, the world still had to import foodstuffs for visitors and guests. The near desert environment made it difficult to farm, but the vast stores of minerals and metals beneath the surface gave birth to a thriving electronics industry.[1]

The main continent, Castellan, holds the planetary capital of Casella. The CCAF warehouses are located in this city. The smaller continents are Brasilia (to the south) and Ortega. Brasilia is the location for most of Azha's farms. Ortega is abandoned, and has been since the Tikonov-Sarna War that happened between 2351 and 2352. The sheer amount of damage inflicted by the war marked it as a haunted place that no one dares venture into.[1]

The Jihad

The Word of Blake did apparently land on the world, but didn't stay long. The local militia unit set out to face the Blakists, but vanished. No trace of them was ever found.[1] During the last two weeks of October 3069 the Word of Blake launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the Word of Blake Protectorate. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat - or use - of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defences; Azha was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.[28]
