History & Background (Dossier)

In -112, a group of terrorists planted a modified courier robot aboard the Empire’s Banner, the 90,000-ton flagship of the Sylean Federation fleet, when it visited Fornol. When the robot’s booby-trapped fuel cell exploded, it killed a number of senior ambassadors and officials from both Sylea and Fornol. This was the singular event that led to the Shudusham Concords controlling robotics.
