Arcadia

Arcadia is a major Terran Federation colony world.

Population Influxes and Racial Conflicts
From 2359 to 2379, an influx of population overtook the planet. The children of the Malkoth and the Dekendi were brought to the planet to escape a war between their species. Also, unrest between the two races had resulted in race riots on the planet.

During the First Dekendi-Malkoth War, the Prime Minister of Dekendi III and the President of Malkoth demanded assistance from the Terran Federation. However, the only assistance they could offer was to protect their children by sending them to Arcadia for safe keeping. Teenagers on both sides have began fighting because they were taught that members of either side were their enemies. The Colonial Security Force have had to break-up several of these brawls and take anyone hurt to the medical centers, including the Tarsus Hospital. Over the years, the two races had begun to reconcile and the gangs were disbanded.

The Second Dekendi-Malkoth War began after an argument over the custody of Arkelos, a planetoid on their border. During the war, refugees from both sides of the conflict were brought to the planet for medical care. Many of these people refused treatment because they would not be treated by their enemies. However, the two races banded together after the President of Malkoth unjustly destroyed the Dekendi homeworld, determined to make the president pay for his crimes.

Natural History
