Vadhat
A member of the Communist Brotherhood of Socialist States, on this world communism actually works, thanks to pretech computing devices and greater or lesser amounts of psychic precognition. Central planning nodes direct all production and employment on the world. Citizens in good standing have access to ample amounts of material goods for all needs and many wants. Instead of strife over wealth, conflicts erupt over political controls, cultural precepts, or control over the planning nodes. Many cybercommunist worlds show a considerable bias toward the private interests of those who run the planning nodes and Vadhat is not exempt from this internal corruption much to the despair of Chairman Oktobreyskya.
The natives no longer believe in their old values, and search desperately for something new. This is especially true after the current administration's reckless economic policies have devastated the planet's ecology and caused a ferocious storm that destroyed their space elevator- a work of generations.
Fierce conflict often exists between the last believers in the old dispensation and the nihilistic or searching disciples of the new age under the banner of CBSS rule.
A campaign that stretched all of 2668 to try to make inroads with the rebels was successfully concluded in Decmber of that year. Parsnips Jackal was able to convince both the Chairman and the Rebels to sit down and form a binding agreement with the Exchange of Light so that reintegration into the healing planet was possible without sanction from party officials.
Hundreds of lives were saved by the negotiations, and Vadhat saw the withdrawal of CBSS army peacekeepers on January 1st, 2669. The world is a recovering and proud member of the Communist Brotherhood of Stellar States. Some conflict over influence and the planning nodes remains, but Party officials believe it is always going to be a small facet of life on this world.
