History & Background
The Nist Cluster was the location of the former Collective of Nist following the civil wars and later became part of the Grand Ascendency. Those populations of the Cluster that survived the Voyagers and the Dark Age became regressed and insular. Their development and loyalties were a constant source of conflict between Outworld Development and Scybria.
The Cluster was a major component of the Scybrian Polyarchy, seeing a great deal of fighting during the Scybrian Wars. The Nist War in particular consolidated its position within the Polyarchy.
