Acorn (Di 2835) (World) History & Background (Dossier)

When this tiny planet's service grid was knocked out in 1119 by a terrorist attack, the locals realized that the new life-support margins did not permit all of the chirpers to be saved. Food shortages compelled the community to use the chirper carcasses as meat. Now, the community is debating whether or not the surviving chirpers should be used to reduce the agricultural demands on the hydroponics farms.

These ghastly events underscore an important point: although Imperial decree and long tradition recognizes Chirpers as sentient, there is a tendency among the major races to see these timid beings as onty clever pets. As Hard Times brought stride and death to regressing worlds, this assessment of chirpers dropped yet another notch. Now, once compassionate people conveniently forget that Chirpers are sentient, and treat them as livestock. No doubt, word of this has inflamed Droyne emotions throughout the sector. Acorn's humans do not welcome questions from outsiders about their diminished chirper population.
