Summary:

Located close to the Izar Wormhole, Varaha is an economically important system. Home to just over a billion people this system has seen significant growth since the wormhole was built. Before the wormhole the system and the primary world were controlled by the Tortons, a clan of gangsters who used the planet as a hideout. Shortly after the wormhole opened the United Worlds took control of the planet, and anyone with ties to the Tortons were given a chance to leave the planet or else face trials for their crimes. This angered the people of Varaha because the Tortons who raped and pillaged for many years were given a chance to simply leave, without any consequences.

Shortly after the United Worlds arrived, during the middle of the night an uprising started in the capital city of Nastorcropolis, which quickly spread to the entire planet. The main targets who were attacked were the members of the Tortons under United World Control. The United Worlds sent in more military and quickly squashed the uprising.

Today Varaha has become an important economic world, yet they still hold animosity towards the United Worlds because of the events during the uprising. There are still many members of the violent Tortans living on Varaha, operating their illegal operations underground.
