Sofar's current tech level is insufficient to support its starport. The Solomani Confederation has offered aid in rebuilding the technological infrastructure, but Sofat's International Diet is deeply divided over accepting the assistance. Violence has erupted over this issue, but the Reform-influenced Confederation commanders of Khulam subsector are loath to send in a peacekeeping force. They feel that if the planet settles its own affairs, it legitimizes the Solomani assurance that Sofar will retain its sovereignty. Rumors suggest that the anti-Solomani Rejectionist Alliance has hired a star Viking band to attck the pro-Solomani Redevelopment nations, but so far, there have been no assaults.
