Colonised in late 94 A.S., shortly after the exploration of the Stuttgart system by the famous Rheinland explorer, Von Rohe, Stuttgart was hailed as the Jewel of Rheinland. A green, almost inconceivably fertile world, owing to the high concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere, planet Stuttgart was colonised heavily by tens of thousands of would-be farmers, attracted by the prospect of making a living on a planet that did not spend most of its time bathed in sub-zero temperatures.

Colonised in late 94 A.S., shortly after the exploration of the [[Stuttgart]] system by the famous [[Rheinland]] explorer, Von Rohe, Stuttgart was hailed as the Jewel of Rheinland. A green, fertile world ideally suited to agriculture due to the high concentration of carbon dioxide and [[oxygen]] in the atmosphere and nitrate-rich soil, Planet Stuttgart was colonised heavily by thousands of farmers and other colonists, attracted by the prospect of making a living on a planet that did not spend most of its time bathed in sub-zero temperatures.

It quickly became the primary food producer for all of [[Rheinland]], with many plants from Earth being grown with ease. Vast plains were seeded with the grains and wheats that once fed the population of Earth. It was during the formative years that many of the huge farming clans and dynasties started. The largest of which were the Bachmeier, Erlichmann, Sterl and Weiss families, who controlled enormous plantations and farms across the planet. The farmers organised themselves into a collective known as the Weltbau Verein von Stuttgart (WVS), a powerful Farmers Rights union that successfully lobbied [[New Berlin]] for farming subsidies for centuries. The government money boosted [[Stuttgart]]'s food output and generated a huge amount of wealth for the farmers, right up until the [[Eighty Years War|Eighty Year War]].

As the war against the [[Gas Miners Guild]] wound down towards its ignoble conclusion, the [[Rheinland]] government, realising that it was almost bankrupt, decided to cut all subsidies to planet Stuttgart almost overnight. The WVS protested massively, but the decision was final. The money they had once received in subsidies simply wasn't there anymore. Adding insult to injury, it became clear that the fledgeling Rheinland republic had borrowed an incredible amount of money from [[Liberty]] to keep itself afloat. When Liberty called in on it's debts, Rheinland had little choice but to negotiate a settlement. As part of that debt renegotiation, Liberty corporations were allowed to settle themselves on Stuttgart.

With the [[Rheinland]] currency completely devalued and unemployment skyrocketing, the vast majority of the farmers on Stuttgart were virtually bankrupt along with the rest of their nation. [[Synthfoods]] was quick to move in, buying out several of the plantations and converting them into growing fields for their own genetically engineered, high yield crop. Many of the plantations suffered mysterious accidents prior to their bankrupcies, leading to accusations of sabotage. The farmers that held on to their traditional crop plantations were forced to lower the price for their produce in order to compete with Synthfoods. The cause of the farmers was lost on the rest of Rheinland however. Stuttgart, and the Synthfood plantations and food processing plants that were being erected planetside, were a source of employment in that time of crisis, and caused a massive immigration wave.

When [[Synthfoods]] decided to alter the climate in 770 A.S. by raising the carbondioxide levels in the atmosphere of it's crops to speed up crop growth, the WVS protested heavily to the government, as the move had a disastrous effect on Stuttgarts climate as a whole. Synthfoods however had key members of the [[Rheinland]] government on its payroll, and the WVS went unheared. Outraged, radical elements among the farmers attacked razed the Synthfood terraforming plants and set fire to their crops. In response Synthfoods pressured the Rheinland government to get rid of the WVS completely by replacing its leaders with Synthfood lackeys.

This was the final straw that triggered a fullblown revolt on the planet. Outraged farmers, environmental activists and sympathisers joined forces and founded the [[Landwirtschaftsbewegung]] (LWB), which according to rumors is led by a member of the Erlichmann family. The LWB began a campaign designed to drive [[Synthfoods]] out of [[Rheinland]] by destroying their assets - and their profit - both on Stuttgart planet, and in space.

Despite this conflict, Stuttgart remains the most attractive planet to live on for the average Rheinlander. The population has risen steadily, to a healthy 3.5 billion as of 818 A.S.
  
It quickly became the primary food producer for the whole of Rheinland, with many plants from Earth and elsewhere in Sirius being grown with ease in the oxygen rich atmosphere. It was during the formative years that many of the huge farming clans and dynasties started, the largest of which were the Bachmeier, Erlichmann, Sterl and Weiss families, who controlled enormous plantations and farms across the planet. The farmers organised themselves into a collective known as the WVS, a powerful Farmers Rights union that lobbied [[Planet New Berlin|New Berlin]] for farming subsidies successfully for centuries. The government money boosted Stuttgart's food output and generated a huge amount of wealth for the farmers, but the happy situation was not to last.
 
 
As the [[Eighty Years War]] against the [[Gas Miners Guild]] wound down towards its ignoble conclusion, the Rheinland government, realising that it was almost bankrupt, decided to cut all subsidies to planet Stuttgart almost overnight. The WVS protested massively, but was completely ignored. It later came to light that the Rheinland government had borrowed massively from [[Liberty]] during the many years of fighting against the GMG and, with the end of the war in 669 A.S., Liberty was calling in its debts. Having no money to pay them with and in an attempt to renegotiable more favourable loan conditions, the Rheinland government gave Liberty corporations, [[Synth Foods]] in particular, unrestricted access to the planet Stuttgart.
 
 
With the Rheinland currency completely devalued and unemployment skyrocketing by the day, the vast majority of the farmers on Stuttgart were virtually bankrupt along with the rest of their nation. Synth Foods moved in immediately, buying out many of the farming dynasties over the following decades, including the huge Erlichmann family, which had had a series of mysterious disasters occurring on a number of plantations in the year preceding their collapse. Most of the remaining farmers were forced to buy all of their seeds and poor quality fertilisers from Synth Foods, and sell much of their produce to the Liberty corporation at the same time.
 
 
In 770 A.S., Synth Foods began increasing the carbon dioxide level in Stuttgart's atmosphere in order to make it even easier to manufacture Synth Paste. Again, the WVS protested heavily to the government, but was duly ignored. This sparked a number of sabotage incidents at Synth Food owned factories and it lead to Synth Foods forcing the Rheinland government to replace virtually all of the original WVS board members with their lackeys in 775 A.S., destroying the farming union's voice in New Berlin. It was this final act that lead radicals from the WVS, including the former head of the Erlichmann family, to found the [[LWB]] later the same year, in the hopes of one day driving Synth Foods from Stuttgart and returning the planet to its rightful place as the Jewel of Rheinland.

Colonised in late 94 A.S., shortly after the exploration of the Stuttgart system by the famous Rheinland explorer, Von Rohe, Stuttgart was hailed as the Jewel of Rheinland. A green, fertile world ideally suited to agriculture due to the high concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere and nitrate-rich soil, Planet Stuttgart was colonised heavily by thousands of farmers and other colonists, attracted by the prospect of making a living on a planet that did not spend most of its time bathed in sub-zero temperatures.

It quickly became the primary food producer for all of Rheinland, with many plants from Earth being grown with ease. Vast plains were seeded with the grains and wheats that once fed the population of Earth. It was during the formative years that many of the huge farming clans and dynasties started. The largest of which were the Bachmeier, Erlichmann, Sterl and Weiss families, who controlled enormous plantations and farms across the planet. The farmers organised themselves into a collective known as the Weltbau Verein von Stuttgart (WVS), a powerful Farmers Rights union that successfully lobbied New Berlin for farming subsidies for centuries. The government money boosted Stuttgart's food output and generated a huge amount of wealth for the farmers, right up until the Eighty Year War.

As the war against the Gas Miners Guild wound down towards its ignoble conclusion, the Rheinland government, realising that it was almost bankrupt, decided to cut all subsidies to planet Stuttgart almost overnight. The WVS protested massively, but the decision was final. The money they had once received in subsidies simply wasn't there anymore. Adding insult to injury, it became clear that the fledgeling Rheinland republic had borrowed an incredible amount of money from Liberty to keep itself afloat. When Liberty called in on it's debts, Rheinland had little choice but to negotiate a settlement. As part of that debt renegotiation, Liberty corporations were allowed to settle themselves on Stuttgart.

With the Rheinland currency completely devalued and unemployment skyrocketing, the vast majority of the farmers on Stuttgart were virtually bankrupt along with the rest of their nation. Synthfoods was quick to move in, buying out several of the plantations and converting them into growing fields for their own genetically engineered, high yield crop. Many of the plantations suffered mysterious accidents prior to their bankrupcies, leading to accusations of sabotage. The farmers that held on to their traditional crop plantations were forced to lower the price for their produce in order to compete with Synthfoods. The cause of the farmers was lost on the rest of Rheinland however. Stuttgart, and the Synthfood plantations and food processing plants that were being erected planetside, were a source of employment in that time of crisis, and caused a massive immigration wave.

When Synthfoods decided to alter the climate in 770 A.S. by raising the carbondioxide levels in the atmosphere of it's crops to speed up crop growth, the WVS protested heavily to the government, as the move had a disastrous effect on Stuttgarts climate as a whole. Synthfoods however had key members of the Rheinland government on its payroll, and the WVS went unheared. Outraged, radical elements among the farmers attacked razed the Synthfood terraforming plants and set fire to their crops. In response Synthfoods pressured the Rheinland government to get rid of the WVS completely by replacing its leaders with Synthfood lackeys.

This was the final straw that triggered a fullblown revolt on the planet. Outraged farmers, environmental activists and sympathisers joined forces and founded the Landwirtschaftsbewegung (LWB), which according to rumors is led by a member of the Erlichmann family. The LWB began a campaign designed to drive Synthfoods out of Rheinland by destroying their assets - and their profit - both on Stuttgart planet, and in space.

Despite this conflict, Stuttgart remains the most attractive planet to live on for the average Rheinlander. The population has risen steadily, to a healthy 3.5 billion as of 818 A.S.
