The planet Stuttgart has been the breadbasket of Rheinland since its settlement in 94 A.S. Over time, its farmers formed a powerful union, named the Weltbau Verein von Stuttgart (WVS). The organization managed to successfully lobby the Rheinland government to subsidize Stuttgart agriculture for hundreds of years, generating a huge amount of wealth amongst the farming dynasties and increasing the planet's food output considerably, especially in the growing of Blue Jillies. But with the end of the Eighty Years War in 669 A.S. and the government completely bankrupted, the subsidies were no longer tenable and were cut almost overnight.

The [[Landwirtrechtbewegung]], or LWB for short, was a small yet influential group of disenfranchised farmers mostly from [[Planet Stuttgart]] who were faced with economic hardships after [[Rheinland]] was forced to allow [[Liberty]] corporations to buy out land on Stuttgart to repay their debt after the Liberty-Rheinland War. With the beginning of a new war in the Sigma systems, the LWB started to ideologically splinter along those who held more nationalistic tendencies and those who thought along more international lines. Slowly but surely, the movement began to dissolve, with both camps either joining the [[Unioners]] or the [[Red Hessians]], seeing no future for the LWB and thus leaving many LWB bases abandoned and in disrepair.

In a secret deal during the war, the Rheinland government desperately borrowed huge sums from Liberty. Facing default on their loans at the end of the war, they were forced to offer something to House Liberty. Synth Foods wanted complete access to planet Stuttgart, which the Rheinland government granted in exchange for renegotiated debt repayment terms. The Liberty food giant moved in immediately, buying out huge numbers of nearly bankrupt Stuttgart farmers and proceeded to crush entire farming dynasties over the following decades. Some collapsed in suspicious circumstances, such as the Erlichmann family whose farms and plantations suffered a number of sabotages shortly before their buyout by Synth Foods. Much of Stuttgart was subsequently converted into vast expanses of the bio-engineered mono-crops of Synth Foods.

Recently repressurized and repaired by the [[Coalition]], Darmstadt Depot now serves a purpose again, although under a new master.

The government backed the foreign company wholeheartedly and looked the other way as Synth Foods used unscrupulous business practices to further consolidate its control over Stuttgart. The remaining independent farmers were ultimately forced to lower the prices of their produce in order to compete with Synth Foods, which greatly reduced their income.
 
 
The once proud Stuttgart farmers were reduced to indentured servants. Inexorably, Synth Foods assimilated the bulk of the planet's arable land, dutifully paying its Rheinland federal taxes and feeding the bribe machine in New Berlin. The WVS tried to fight back legally in the courts but soon discovered that their influence had been sold to a higher bidder. 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 Landwirtrechtbewegung ("farmers rights movement"), simply referred to as the LWB, later the same year.
 
 
The LWB built a small depot called Darmstadt within the Ostnebel. This serves as a base for operations targeted at Synth Foods convoys within Rheinland space. The Red Hessians also use it as way station along one of their routes to Omega-11. The "war" has been going on for over forty years now, and both sides claim to be winning. Synth Foods now controls 90 percent of the planet's agriculture vs. 55 percent just four decades ago, but not a week goes by where Synthfoods does not lose a factory or convoy to LWB sabotage.

The Landwirtrechtbewegung, or LWB for short, was a small yet influential group of disenfranchised farmers mostly from Planet Stuttgart who were faced with economic hardships after Rheinland was forced to allow Liberty corporations to buy out land on Stuttgart to repay their debt after the Liberty-Rheinland War. With the beginning of a new war in the Sigma systems, the LWB started to ideologically splinter along those who held more nationalistic tendencies and those who thought along more international lines. Slowly but surely, the movement began to dissolve, with both camps either joining the Unioners or the Red Hessians, seeing no future for the LWB and thus leaving many LWB bases abandoned and in disrepair.

Recently repressurized and repaired by the Coalition, Darmstadt Depot now serves a purpose again, although under a new master. Both the Red Hessians and the Coalition, who claimed Darmstadt Depot, make frequent use of the base both as a refuelling outpost in the Stuttgart System as well as a staging point for raids on the adjacent resort Planet of Baden Baden.
