Somn was colonized before the Great Interplanetary War under the State of Denaus. During the war, it was starved for resources and forced to use dangerous mining practices to keep up with the State's demands. After Akkalah's infrastructure collapsed in nuclear war, Somn underwent decades of isolation during which the colonists never recovered. They died before the post-Singularity humans on Akkalah could reach them.
After its restoration, Somn served as a fleetyard for torchships before the orbital yard over Mena took over this responsibility. Its low-quality minerals forced the AUS to scrap it as a mining colony; transport and fuel costs were simply too much for too little. Instead, Somn's main export became people.
