Lastergavin

The tropical planet of Lastergavin, or Lastergavin's shelter, was the first extra-solar colony of the K'adurbian species and the then emerging K'adurbian Stellar Empire. The colony was famously founded by Gavv Lastt, head of prominent shipbuilding guilds in the Empire. The planet was known as a breadbasket for the Empire, and was one of the bigger exporters of food in the Galaxy.

History
During first Emperor Orss Brek's reclamation campaigns to stabilize the damaged ecosystem of Netraxia, many K'adurbians feared that their homeworld was doomed and that it would eventually die out. Master shipwright Gavv Lastt made fame by leading a convoy of colony ships to a new planet. This planet eventually was named after him and became known as Lastergavin's shelter. Millions emigrated from the Imperial capital to this newfound colony to escape the pollution of industrialized Netraxia, and the colony quickly grew.

In the early years of colonization, the planet suffered from massive amounts of corruption and crime.

After a few years, a stable government began to form of Lastergavin. It was during this time that retired naval admiral Qorr Mikaba rose through the ranks of this new government and eventually succeeded Lastt as the new Legate of Lastergavin. Now ex-governor Lasst had made a stable fortunic income with his investments in the colony and was now the third-wealthiest man in the Empire, succeeded only by the Imperial Royal Family. Mikaba's naval history quickly proved necessary on the young colony. Parts of the population was unhappy with the established government and unrest filled the streets. An extensive criminal underworld began to form despite Mikaba's best efforts. Various areas of the planet would periodically descend into lawlessness or be ruled by crime syndicates. These syndicates had agents in the planetary government, and would bribe officials to look the other way while nefarious activities plagued the planet. After heavy investments from the Emperor himself, a small army of enforcers were appointed to Lastergavin to crack down on the crime in the streets. Legate Mikaba gave the enforcers additional privileges and authority and launched an extensive anti-crime campaign. While the organised crime was slowly being dealt with, unrest remained among the population for a time.

The hardships endured on this new world, both from its nature and from the struggles of settling a new planet, stimulated clever companies to come up with bright new amenities that would quickly become popular throughout the Empire.

Around 30 years past the initial colonization, the now greying legate Mikaba died peacefully due to old age. To honor her work in the Imperial Navy and as the 'restorer of peace and justice' on Lastergavin, a great military academy was constructed by the population of the planet. Over the years, this academy would grow to be one of the most prestigious in the Empire.
