History & Background (Dossier)
Corcoran has been interdicted for the last forty-five years by the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service for the preservation of a possible Ancient site, the only one found to date within Empty Quarter sector.
- In an announcement in 990, a Senior Scout Leader for the IISS stated that the interdiction status for Corcoran would be lifted gradually over the next ten years, as "extensive research has demonstrated that the existence of an Ancient site on the planet was a carefully fabricated hoax, perpetrated by individuals who are currently in Imperial custody."
- Corcoran is expected to be reduced to Amber Zone status in 996 for a brief two year period, after which time it will no longer harbor an interdiction travel zone classification.
