Short Description
Colonized in 226 BA by a combination of Christian Hinichi and Sol system Jews from the asteroid belt, which is where nearly all the Jews scattered to after the wars that followed the Eldritch departure. A small group wanted to plant themselves elsewhere, but did not have the wherewithal; the Hinichi group that wanted to start a new colony was also small, but had enough, combined with the humans, to manage the process.
The planet has resulted in some strange admixtures of religion: the Christianity sect most common there is known as Second Exodus Covenant. The same buildings are used for both Jewish and Christian services in those communities.
Named for the Hebrew word for 'breath.'
