[quote=Zebulon's Guide]<br /><br />25FY The Mechanon menace on Volturnus first comes to the UPF's
attention, but cannot be dealt with because of the Blue Plague (note the
Blue Plague has been raging since 17 FY and will continue to do so for
another 2 years by the book)<br /><br />54 FY The Mechanon Revolt. Mechanons
on Volturnus revolt. Only through quick action of the part of Star Law
is a full-scale war avoided. <br /><br />70 FY The Mechanon Civization of
Voltrunus undergoes an upheaval. The majority of peaceful Mechanons
migrate into undeveloped space between Scree Fron and Dixon's Star.<br /><br />77
FY Mechanon is discovered by migrating Mechanons. Its entry into the
UPF is blocked until the legal status of the Mechanons can be
established.<br /><br />105 FY (post SW2) An altered Mechanon assassinates
the governor of Zebulon. The UPF suspects that the sathar may be
establishing an extensive spy and terrorist network. The possible sathar
use of mechanical life forms, such as mechanons, as agents becomes a
preime investigative goal of Star Law.<br /><br />106 FY The Mechanons are
officially informed by the UPF that they are not considered a stable
enough society, at this time, to be allowed equal status in the UPF.
They are forthwith considered "wards of the Federation." The protection
and supervision are the responsibility of the Council of Worlds. While
most Mechanons accept this as a necessary step toward independence, some
rebel and go underground, swearing to avenge their race. Many of these
are suspected of being sathar agents. [/quote]<br /><br />1. UPF steps in immediately after the Battle of Volkos and assumes control of the system; sathar have invaded through Zebulon so its necessary guard the system against that in the future. <br /><br />2. A govenor is appointed by the Council of Worlds, the primitives are classed as "wards of the Federation," The eorna are granted semi-autonomous status within the UPF, they send an ambassador to the Council of Worlds but dont have a seat on the Council. <br /><br />3. Star establishes a major base on Volturnus, mega corps begin horning in to exploit Volturnus' riches friction occurs between the governor and the mega corps.<br /><br />4. Eventual maneuvering by mega corps leads to appointment of a new governor that is easily ammenable to mega corp wishes "and the envelope please" problems come about and the eorna ambassador to CoWs calls for the governor's recall. Nothing happens until the "Mechanon Menace" incident caused by the mega corps <br /><br />5. a new governor is appointed and cracks down on the mega corps abuses
