Planetary History
Labbezanga was the site of a notable battle in March 3059 between the pirate band Corazon's Cossacks and the mercenary Hessian Horsemen. The Horsemen had been contracted by the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery to stop the raids on the DCMS supply station on Durham launched by the Cossacks on a regular basis, and ambushed a Cossack group on Labbezanga as a part of their campaign to track down the Cossacks' base of operations.

The leader of the Cossacks, Salander White, had established a friendly relationship with the city of Santin on Labbezanga. A smelting operation in the jungle near Santin produced ore that the Cossacks collected on a regular basis, in exchange for supplies of slaves from various sources including the slave market on Isfahan. The Cossacks then traded that ore on Cable for ammunition; the ore was valuable to the Cossacks because the smelting operation on Labbezanga represented the most easily accessible supply of the ore within a hundred light years of Isfahan.

In retaliation for the ambush one of the pirates burned the city of Santin - an act for which White subsequently had the pirate in question executed.
