The planet was conquered in 2366 by the Haakonian Order the day after their moon Rinax was irradiated by the Metreon Cascade. Despite its surrender a day later, Talax is still represented by independent freighter convoys at some distance and colonies, such as miners, with their own ships and independence (Paxim carries the rank of "commander"), so the conquest may have been short-lived or liberalized. It was also the site of the Paxau Resort.
