In antebellum times Quanah was a major mining world. Mines were scattered across the surface, and the world was divided between several petty city-states, none of which numbered more than a few hundred people. Vargr raids in neighboring Lamas created refugee flows that crowded through the world's meager starport, a trend accelerated by the Collapse. Refugee camps swelled the local population to almost hundred times and strained local resources. While some refugees moved on to other worlds, the majority ended up staying, eventually assimilating the original. The major cities sprawl out of the old camps, with the core still inhabited by die hard Human and Vargr refugees. Agriculture has become the mainstay of the economy, though most of the population is locked up in urban professional jobs. Vargr organised crime has a heavy presence on the world, virtually controlling the inner cities.
