Estigarribia is a balkanized world which was subject to numerous Vampire raids over a period of several decades (the last one occurred in 1188). Four years ago, the first Charuthian starship visited Estigarribia. At first thought to be yet another vampire raider, it took months of negotiations and several more trips before the Charuthians were permitted to land.
Trade relations have since been established between Charuth and several of the governments on Estigarribia, who became client states. Among the raw materials the Charuthian merchants trade high tech goods for is Lanthanum, which is critical in the construction of jump drives. The contact between Charuth and its allies on Estigarribia has not escaped the notice of a few powerful, extremely xenophobic nation-states located there, which are plotting to stop all contact with the off-worlders. Opinion is divided as to what to do about this on Charuth, since Charuth needs the raw materials it is getting from Estigarribia, but Charuth lacks the interstellar capability necessary to conduct a large-scale planetary invasion or provide large amounts of high tech weapons to its allies.
