Native Lifeforms

  • During the Rule of Man Ziusudra’s oceans and major islands were seeded with genetically engineered Terran life replacing the primitive native ecology. But in 1103, geological sensors indicated that the planet’s Mavinga mega-caldera region on its heavily-populated northern continent is in imminent danger of erupting as a ‘super volcano’ in an extinction-level event. The Secretariat have declared the planet a disaster zone and Home Guard, Confederation Navy and Army forces are moving in to aid in the evacuations of millions of citizens from the most threatened regions..
