History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The mainworld population was heavily factionalized and overpopulation threatened its surviving habitats. Never fully trusting the Zhodani, the world's factions assembled several "generation" ships and launched them to Indo (Spinward Marches 0703) in the 970s. After the launch of the last ship, one of the larger factions attempted to seize total control of the world and the resulting war slaughtered 90% of the population.
