Well the idea is that the world was founded by a mixture of people over the course of time. For example one city was a pirate base, where as another city was the colony of some old empire that fizzled out long ago(Which is something already in the RP)
I am still working on the system wiki, but that should not take too long, as far as the name of the planet, I figured it came from the world's human inhabitants when it was first colonized, that or got renamed buy humans who arrived much later.
The world is populated by a mixture of races, with a hodgepodge of technology. Vice's military would probably be small, and mostly likely privately owned by the trade family, the crime syndicates, and the Royal families.
