Sath Diaspora
ca 5450AD. An exodus of displaced Sath from their traditional worlds during an intense period of internecine warfare.
Description / Specifications
Conflict among the Sath began with the death of the Issh't'ka Sak'akh Ik (5382AD–5446AD), a powerful ruler who united the Factions. His successor Issh't'ka Kaha Khas (5394AD–5449AD) was weak and indecisive and the various Factions began squabbling among themselves.
History & Background / Dossier
Issh't'ka Kaha Khas, already elderly, found the stress of leadership an impossible strain and died relatively quickly. With no clear successor, the position of Issh't'ka remained vacant. The infighting became a full-blown civil war as rival Sath factions sought to have their own candidate installed as the Shadow Emperor.
Many smaller Factions found themselves subject to persecution from more powerful groups. Faced with the stark choice of annihilation or fleeing, many chose to leave Sath territory. Most of the refugees chose to settle within the region known as the Hell Worlds, though a very few travelled as far as The Descent to spinward, and into the Pador-Aredian Cluster to coreward. The Diaspora was met with hostility from the human populations of those worlds.
