[QUOTE="thol, post: 1693255, member: 6365"] [b]Sar Pallin[/b] In a forgotten region of the Orion Arm, between the emptiness of the Drift and the maelstrom of the Hexan Nebulae, lies an old Terran colony from the ancient days before the Alliance: Sar Pallin. A slightly arid and rocky class M planet, Sar Pallin was at one time a thriving colony in the early days of the second galactic expansion known as the Big Push. A favorite stopping point for those in need of refueling, both mechanically and mentally, it served many a traveller and Pusher alike. When the Hexan star systems went supernova, the hyperspace links to the coreward part of the Arm were disrupted. For almost 200 years, Sar Pallin was cut off from the rest of the empire. When the links finally began to function again, albeit strangely, the first travellers to arrive at Sar Pallin found nothing but empty structures and partially functioning robots. A few tried to recolonize the planet, but the planet was eventually abandoned altogether. It's purpose as a stopping point was no longer relevant, partially due to easier colonization closer to the galactic center and disinterest in the virtually unknown space beyond the Drift, but mostly because of the quickening war with the Varan Collective. In the early days of the Alliance, centuries after the colonists disappeared and the planet was forgotten, a small band of pirates came across Sar Pallin during a search for a better hideout. Saturation near the center of colonized space had reawoken the interest in the Drift and beyond, and the hyperspace links once again seemed to function normally. When Alliance Privateers discovered and scattered the pirates, they decided to settle the planet as a perfect foray point into the Drift. Soon came the scientific community, as well as the Alliance military proper. In the span of 4 short years, Sar Pallin has become the hub of all Drift space operations. The mystery still remains as to what happened to the colonists, and many a xenoarchaeologist is at work towards that end. Some say aliens live among the dark matter space of the Drift, and they saw the colony as a threat and eliminated them. Others point to the tiny anomalies still found in this section of the hyperspace continuum in support of a SDS (Sudden Dimensional Shift) hypothesis. Yet others point to the recently discovered markings found buried in sand that cover the Old City square, claiming they are not written in any known script, though detractors say they are only weathered beyond recognition. No matter the reason, life goes on on Sar Pallin, and naught but a memory remains of the ancient Terrans who once lived there. [b]Next up: Voray Six[/b] [/QUOTE]
