History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

In 1062 Corfu's population was stricken with a virulent pathogen known as the Corfu Claw Virus. While not possessing a high lethality rate, the disease was quite debilitating to its sufferers, and the Scout Service interdicted the world to prevent off-world transmission. [3]

1104 The Barony lapsed due to multiple factors including long CCV which impacted the very young and the elderly. For the young, it mainly resulted in near zero birth rates and for the elderly it was nearly always fatal. The IISS interdict was lifted when Norris appointed a new Baron. Paulina von Hagen.

In 1117, researchers at the University of Rhylanor developed a vaccine, and the interdiction was raised to amber in 1119. [2]
