Society
Talaxians tend to be a very enthusiastic and friendly people, quick to trust
others and easy to get along with. They have few enemies, although in 2346 they
entered into a war with the Haakonian Order. After ten years of fighting the
Hakkonians used a Metreon Cascade weapon on Rinax, killing some 300,000 Talaxian
colonists of that moon and prompting the Talaxians to surrender. Many Talaxians
who came into contact with the fallout of the weapon subsequently developed
metremia, a fatal blood disease.
