History & Background (Dossier)

This is a world which, until five years ago, had a population of some 100,000 people. A plague of unknown origin appears to have wiped out the population, though there are reports of survivors hiding in the hills. It is possible that the disease, whatever it was, affected the minds of the survivors. There has been no contact with the world in five years.

The system has been listed as the Concourse equivalent of an Amber Zone until a thorough investigation can be carried out.
