The Zhodani Exodus is the mass migration of the Zhodani to rimward in the ongoing chaos caused by the Empress Wave. The Zhodani called it the Viajia, literally "Hammer".

Zhodani Exodus (New Era Event) History

The Empress Wave officially entered the Zhodani Consulate in 991, traveling at light-speed over the coreward edge of the Chit Botshi, Dlachie Jdatl and Driasera sectors. The wave's effect on psis was devastating, and the Consulate with its depenency upon the psionic nobility, started to unravel.

Since the effects of the Empress Wave could last a decade or more on a world, the Consulate attempted to replace the affected nobility. Unfortuantly the constant disruption of the otherwise very stable Zhodani society and lack of defined leadership began the process of unravelling the Consulate.

Zhodani Exodus (New Era Event) Aftermath

Many of the nobility, fearful of the death or loss of their psionic powers, began to move rimward to escape the Empress Wave. In many cases, the Proles came with their leaders. But as the Wave moved deeper into the Consulate the considered migration of a few became an overwhelming tidal wave of Humaniti.

The effects of moving billions of people has caused massive disruptions. At first these distruptions were entirely within the Consulate, but over the two hundred years since the first impacts of the Wave, the continual moving populations have flooded over the border, into the Regency and the smaller polities through Yiklerzdanzh, Far Frontiers, Foreven, and the Spinward Marches sectors.
