The inhabitants of [[Traltha (world)|Traltha]] claim to be descendants of humans who were transplanted by the [[Ancients]] and that their world used to be covered by great oceans until they were blasted into space by a massive bolide that was targeted against the world by an Ancient strike force during the [[Final War]]. Although destroyed, the Ancient base had nevertheless managed to protect the resident humans, the majority of which survived the strike, and somehow scratched out a living in the outback. | The inhabitants of [[Traltha (world)|Traltha]] claim to be descendants of humans who were transplanted by the [[Ancients]] and that their world used to be covered by great oceans until they were blasted into space by a massive bolide that was targeted against the world by an Ancient strike force during the [[Final War]].

The local seas were apparently blasted into space by a massive bolide that was targeted against the world by an Ancient strike force. The Ancient base included a population of transplanted humans, the majority of which survived the strike, and somehow scratched out a living in the outback. Calling themselves the Traltar, these desert nomads used to scour the outback for surviving water sources. After contact with the [[Third Imperium]] in [[373]], they accepted offworld technological aid, and quit their wandering for a more sedentary existence. Most of their communities are located around wells, and subsist upon [[agriculture]]. The Traltar have a long running fight with another local, non-sentient lizard species known as the [[Vorstin]], which has a nasty habit of raiding their communities for water. Local pride prevented them from accepting offworld military aid in the past, but the world's [[technology]] has advanced to the point that the locals can now manufacture their own [[laser weapon]]ry, giving them a decisive advantage. |
