{{Quote|This once quiet agricultural system has recently become known for the production of Onionhead. This naturally growing drug was declared illegal by Federal authorities in December 3300.<br/><br/>The headquarters of the East India Company are situated in this system. The company bought up shares, real-estate and local businesses following the cessation of operations with Senator Torval. They work towards the legalisation and wholesale distribution of the cash crop Onionhead throughout the galaxy.|In-Game Description}}
'''Kappa Fornacis''' is an [[Empire|Imperial]] system in the [[Core Systems]] within the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. In recent years it became known as the source of the [[List of Rare Commodities|Rare Commodity]] [[Onionhead]], which is sold at Harvestport. The [[Federation]] unsuccessfully tried to destroy the Onionhead crops on the planet Panem after the narcotic was banned by [[President of the Federation|Federal President]] [[Jasmina Halsey]] in late 3300, when Kappa Fornacis was still an [[Independent]] system under the Kappa Fornacis Farmers Union. Years later in 3305, an extremist group called the [[Scythe of Panem]], bent on revenge against the Federation, was responsible for spreading a [[The Scourge|blight]] that devastated staple crops in dozens of systems and nearly triggered an interstellar famine.

== History ==
In late 3300 President [[Jasmina Halsey]] declared the rare narcotic 'Onionhead' illegal throughout Federal space. [[Onionhead]] is the fruit of an alien plant on Panem in the Kappa Fornacis system.<ref name=":0">Tourist Spot 0197, "Onionhead Banned"</ref>

[[Georgio Algeria]], spokesman for the Farmer's Cooperative in the Kappa Fornacis system, accused the President of victimisation.<ref name=":0" />

Tensions between the Onionhead cultivators and the [[Federation]] continued to rise, culminating in the bombing of Panem by the [[Federal Navy]]. This action seemed to have little effect as a brand new strain of Onionhead was subsequently discovered in markets, having been cultivated somewhere on Luca in the Tanmark system.<ref name=":0" />
