The Ostrovniks of 971-852 (Trojan Reach 2814) are an extinct Minor Human Race.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
No information yet available.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
At one time humans of unknown ancestry lived here. When contacted in 504, these island dwellers subsisted on a few plants, supplemented by cannibalism - a practice which provided certain proteins not available in the local wildlife.
The IISS introduced livestock to provide a socially acceptable source of protein. The inhabitants gradually changed from a settled, agricultural culture to a more nomadic, herding one. To the Scout Service's regret, they persisted in eating the old and crippled humans.
971-852 was rarely visited, and when the Scouts last reappraised the world in 852, the small population of islanders had vanished. As the fate of the cannibalistic natives has never been determined, 971-852 was given an amber travel code, despite its current listing as an uninhabited world.
The 971-852 incident forced the IISS to reconsider its non-interference policies. Although the Scouts worked to modify the islander culture with the thought of making it more amenable to offworld contact, their interference might well have been the cause of its extinction. IISS pre-stellar contact restrictions were strengthened as a result.
