Santanni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Santanni is a fictional planet, mentioned often in Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series. It was 9000 parsecs (29,000 light years) from Trantor and 800 parsecs (2600 light years) from Locris.

In 12,058 G.E. the population of Santanni attempted to rebel against the Galactic Empire. Raych Seldon, son of psychohistorian Hari Seldon, was killed in the rebellion, valiantly defending the University of Santanni.

After the founding of the Foundation, Santanni traded with it until the trade route was cut off by the rebellion of Anacreon. One known thing of Santanni make was the cigar box possessed by Jord Fara, and later by Salvor Hardin.

After the death of the Mule, Santanni was instrumental in breaking the siege on Terminus levied by the Mule's successor, Han Pritcher in 308 F.E.

It was captured in the early stages of the war with Kalgan, but that war proved ill-fated for the Kalganians.
