History & Background (Dossier)

457–973 (3019): is interdicted by the IISS to protect a local developing race from exploitation; a small human population studies the race from a remote underground installation.

There is a Red Zones at 457–973. Conspiracy theorists keep trying to link it with the research station at Vanejen, but this seems unlikely as the Imperium would place its station at a location actually within the interdicted system if there were something there needing to be studied.

Pelouse (formerly 457-973) (3019): This world has been interdicted by the IISS and RISS to protect a developing race but contact is being undertaken by the RISS, as the achievement of TL–5 is usually considered sufficient to open previously interdicted worlds to outside contact. However, the interdiction is still in effect against commercial contact, as the RISS contact process is not yet complete. the name is a lyrical translation of the race's name for their world, which means "lawn."
