History[]
Though this planet was noted when the system was discovered in 46 pf, it was not settled until 41 pf when Alorne Zebulon, finished with mapping the Xagyg Dust Nebula, chose the planet as the place to found the University of Zebulon.
The University of Zebulon ireceived funding from most of the worlds on the Frontier in FY106 following the Second Sathar War. Its facilites on Anker increased over the next 20 years until they were larger than most Frontier cities.
Government[]
The only government on Anker is that of the University of Zebulon. It is a bureaucratic meritocracy. Those wishing to enter into the administration of the University are subjected to a variety of tests which evaluate the skills and abilities of the candidate. These allow the University to rate the individual as to how well they can perform any of the jobs they are interested in.
Notes[]
- ↑ This is contradicted by previously established canon; module SF-0 Crash on Volturnus explicitly states that Volturnus is the only habitable planet in the Zebulon system.
