Fulacin (Spinward Marches 2613) was once the sole property of MagnetoDynamics, with a limited imperial charter for the development of Fulacin, and specializing in the extraction of useful metals from atmospheric and oceanic suspensions.

The unwitting discovery by a merchant crew in 1105 that Fulacin was a secret advance base for Zhodani forces led to MagnetoDynamics' charter being revoked, and a major investigation being launched into the company's activities. Meanwhile, Fulacin's development charter was bought up by Spinward Development and a small operation was set up. The world will eventually become a major mineral-extraction center, but in the meantime the port brings considerabe revenue from ships traveling along the Spinward Main.

In 1108, as part of the increased trust and cooperation between the Zhodani Consulate and the Imperium, the Zhodani revealed that they had established a secret base on Fulacin. It was opened up and converted into a state-of-the-art interactive museum that shows the history of the Frontier Wars from the Zhodani viewpoint. It is required visiting for any student of Frontier War history, and draws tourists from all over the Marches.

The museum contains a flame sculpture memorial to the Imperial and Zhodani undercover agents who died during the Frontier War period, which officially ended when Emperor Strephon ratified the Treaty of Quar on 000-1110.
