Maat

In the 15800s, Maat was considered to be the most powerful planet in the galaxy. The Lord of Maat had amassed a powerful fleet, and (with the Stroga Empire fractured into many warning states) many feared Maat would be the first empire to take over the known galaxy.

Maat's attacks were fierce and well calculated and, for a while, Wadjet and Utgarda even lived under Maat's rule. However, when Stroga II came to power in 16103 and began uniting the former vestiges of the Stroga Empire, Maat found itself squashed by a newly united Stroga force. The royal family of Maat has still been allowed to rule the planet in some capacity, though their government has limited power. The many people who are not in the ruling class that live on the planet live in poverty as Maat has few natural resources beyond ore and a government with limited capabilties. Uprisings are not uncommon on Maat, but longer uprisings are rare as the descendants of the original Lord of Maat begrudgingly try to keep the populace in line. Though, to this day, sour feelings remain between the dynastic families of Maat and the ruling Stroga classes, even if both agree the commoners must be kept under control.

Currently, terrorists (religious extremists with sympathetic ties to the Overlords) have taken over the Capitol City of Maat and are halting production in the ore refineries.
