Ag Worlds Combine

From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

Commercial alliance formed in 780 by the three agricultural worlds of District 268, Motmos, Tarkine, and Tarsus, for the purpose of regulating sales to the high population worlds of Collace and Forine. Heavy-handed tactics did not work, but eventually a working relationship was established whereby the agricultural worlds would provide a steady supply of produce, and the high-population worlds would provide a steady market at reasonable prices.

The worlds of the Combine were threatened with takeover by Dallia in 840, but intervention by the two powerful consumer worlds kept the status quo intact.

Recently, in 1112, Dallia succeeded in getting control of Tarkine, but had to promise that all Tarkine's functions as member of the Combine would be kept up, a commitment that the massive death toll of the Tarkine Revolt and Dallia's desire for getting some produce for itself have made problematic.
