History of Honarth

Honarth has a rich history, with humans appearing on the planet 21,000 years ago and Cadonians appearing 9,000 years later. Despite the peaceful coexistence of humans and Cadonians, the planet has seen its fair share of conflict and political turmoil. Throughout the years, a great war, a banning of space travel, several failed Corpostates and more, the world reached a tipping point, separating government and power from corporate control. But for over a thousand years, some corporations persisted, others failed, a few new were born, some of them merged to survive and now managed to slowly crawl back in the game of power. The current democratic government is plagued by corruption, with large corporations manipulating the politicians for their own gain once again.  

Population

Honarth is filled with Humans, Cadonians and Droids all coexisting in peace and prosperity for thousands of years. Still you can find that the expansion and populace percentage of the two different sentient species, is known to have remained in the same levels throughout the known history. Humans roughly account for ~70% of sentient beings and Cadonians cover the rest ~30%.
