Sardihan is the homeworld of the Tarecki.

Overview

History
The Tarecki originated on Sardihan. At some point before 1700, they had formed a stable civilization and a government. Their civilization progressed, and by 1900, they had spacefaring technology.

In 2160, scientists on Sardihan discovered non-sentient life on one of its moons, and formed a colony there. The colony grew, accepting foreign immigrants, and by 2300, it had 1 million inhabitants and had formed its own government. The colony grew independent from Sardihan and threatened to rebel.

In 2696, the inhabitants of Dharev, now numbering above 2 billion, rebelled against Sardihan and declared war on the planet. Nearly the entire population of Dharev was drafted into war, and landed on Sardihan, starting a war.

In 2698, the Tarecki, under threat due to the overpowering amount of invaders, called out to nearby systems for help. The Xaridge Authority, hearing of the war, intervened and sent a large military force to Sardihan, to assist in battle. Hektu Kzau, the current leader of the Xaridgar military, travelled to Sardihan himself to help in the fight. He was killed in action in 2699, and his son, Aktha Kzau, was put in charge of overseeing the war. The war ended later in that year, and the remaining Dharev were imprisoned on the moon, under a strict guard.
