For several years during the Rebellion Ifuwana was held hostage by three renegade Imperial warships, two of which armed with particle beam weapons. Representatives of the local government travelled off-world to make general requests for help and intervention—all of which went unanswered.
The Khan of Ifuwana is openly allied with the local Vampire fleets, but the arrangement is different than with most vampire puppets. No slaves are offered or taken, and instead a significant proportion of the human work force works at the small starport, servicing vampire ships. Although this has so far protected the world from some of the worst ravages of the vamire invasion, there is growing friction between the humans and the robots at the starport and growing uncertainty concerning the wisdom of this accommodation. The Khan, however, has neither the personal qualities of leadership nor the authority to change the course of the government. True power resides in the Visiri Council, a hereditary institution protecting the privleges of the world's economic elites. The Khan himself is corrupt and self-indulgent, has little interest in governmental affaris ahnd has allowed what power remained to the office to be eroded by the concil until he is little more than a figurehead.
