History
Tomin Kora is the only inhabited planet in the Tomin System.
It was originally settled early in the twenty-fifth century. The planet's location in the Tomin Nebula made it an ideal hideout for smugglers and pirates. In 2417, Lord Fagin, the Pirate King, built his legendary underground fortress beneath the domed city of Freewheeling.
In 2593, Lord Fagin acquired OS drive technology, and founded the Smugglers' and Pirates' Guilds on Tomin Kora. Fagin's Riches was born.
In the years that followed, Fagin was able to centralize control of much of the underworld of the Fringe under his sway on Tomin Kora. For years, the worlds of the Fringe had nominally acknowledged Lord Fagin's sway. Now Tomin Kora became the capital world of a criminal empire. Fagin demanded that worlds such as Ungstir, Val Shohob, Antimone, Odari and Quaquan pay tribute to him and give his servants free reign and protection on their worlds. Without the power to resist him, the worlds of the Fringe fell under his control.
Tomin Kora became a center for all manner of underworld and criminal activity. It became a busy commercial center, with steady traffic of ships in and out, mostly engaged in activities that were illegal on other worlds. Tomin Kora attracted people of all races, from all worlds...anyone who chafed under the restrictions of law-abiding society, anyone who got themselves in trouble with local authorities back home, anyone who had nothing to lose and a fortune to seek, came to Tomin Kora. The world had a dangerous reputation, and many visitors never returned. But still more came.
Through it all, Fagin has reigned, with his legendary underground palace, and the enormous fortune said to be housed within it, still attracting adventurers and treasure hunters. Rather than discourage the practice, Fagin tacitly encouraged adventurous fools to try to find entry to his palace; the tales of fruitless searches, deadly booby traps, and lost expeditions only added to the mystique surrounding the Pirate King.
