Later History: Rebellion Era

When Lucan recalled the Corridor Fleets, the subsequent Vargr invasion overran the base before the local reserve fleet could reach it.

• The local population served the Irrgh Manifest garrison as a captive workforce, but were eventually forced off world by the Manifest military in favor of technicians arriving from coreward.
• Some of these managed to evacuate to the Domain of Deneb.
