Editing Darmine (section)

==Present Day==
Presently, Darmine is in a state of "controlled chaos", many of the numerous settlements containing street crime and smuggling activity, as well as other minor illegalities. The Marshalls keep a close eye on all of this, knowing much more than they let on in every operation and keeping the ringleaders wrapped around their little fingers. Any smuggling of xeno technology or slaves is immediately shut down, with its conspirators finding themselves "taking a trip to the desert". 

Though proposed several times, Planetary Governor Rudabagh has seemingly managed to block the construction of [[Adeptus Arbites]] Precincts whenever they have been suggested, finding some reason or another why it would be inappropriate. His motive for doing so is unknown, but it would be suspected that he would not want the law-enforcing diminished or taken from his Marshalls, who still take up an active role in policing the populace and keeping things "as they should be". 

Tau interest in Darmine has remained almost constant, traders sometimes acting as intermediaries and making their will known. The Planetary Governor has not budged on this issue however, and thus far the Tau Empire have found little success in sewing dissent amongst the planet's xenophobic populace. They remain on constant vigil however, should Commander Farsight and his Tau Renegades seek to expand their network of fortified worlds.

Other than these discrepancies, Darmine is noted to have extremely high productivity with regards to its mining activities, and keeps its regimental tithes crisply punctual. This has resulted in the [[Ecclesiarchy|Ministorum]] finding very little of interest in terms of the population's numerous "extra curricular activities", and anything that would be seen as to grab their attention is usually kicked under the carpet by the currently stationed forces on the planet.
