Details:
Settled in CY 8119 by xenophobic humans who opposed
humanity's close integration into the Commonwealth and
its many advanced alien species, Mobius was ruled for
centuries be a series of dictators--some benevolent,
some tyrannical. The Commonwealth gave Mobius a wide
berth until CY 9780, when supreme leader Ferrin began
a campaign of aggression against neighboring non-aligned
systems. After Ferrin's violent death that year under
mysterious circumstances, Mobius gained a Commonwealth-backed
provisional government which promised to bring democracy
to its long-suffering people. Unfortunately, the Commonwealth's
collapse led to over 300 years of even more brutal tyranny
under self-styled Great Compass Venetri (who had served
as Chief Architect under the Ferrin administration),
who claimed to be preserving stability in the face of
domestic chaos and foreign aggression. On a happier
note, Venetri in CY 10087 turned power over to a new
government of national unity, which is in the process
of liberalizing the government and even beginning negotiations
to sign the restored Commonwealth charter. After granting
himself amnesty for any crimes and abuses he may have
committed during three centuries in power, former leader
Venetri vanished. His present whereabouts are unknown.
