2215 (2213 on interstellar logs) - Prisoner 849 slays the Skaarj Queen on Na Pali and scuttles the Mothership.
2216 - The Skaarj Empire invades the inner solar system. The Seven Day Siege begins and ends.
2219 - (Presumed year by Colonial chart) A lone operative of unknown affiliation breaches Location Z-14. The Elder is reportedly killed. Skaarj command fractures into factions in the following months. Na Pali is carved up as these factions feud amongst themselves.
2221 - Ortican Outpost is sacked by the Tail Tribe.
2223 - Colonial Authority devises a way to effectively blockade Na Pali. First Consigned strongholds established. The quarantine line is formed later that year.
2225 - Operation Fox Tracker results in a powershift as the hierarchies of both the Bloodpack and the Dead Scorpions are deposed. The survivors of both groups scatter.
2229 - The first radicalized action taken by the NPEM (Na Pali Extraditionalist Movement) results in embassy bombings along colony worlds. The Colonial Authority declares the group a terrorist movement.
2231 - The White Tusk restores power to the Na Pali mothership through unknown means. The vessel disappears. Leviathan Outpost, the lone Consigned stronghold on Na Pali, investigates large scale teleporter signals beneath the northern ice caps of the planet.
2232 - A Non-consigned raiding party pillages a supply convoy bound for Leviathan Outpost from the quarantine line. First lethal action made between Consigned and marooned populace since pre-blockade years. Despite the Colonial Authority's best efforts a spy network transmits news of the event into colonial space. The NPEM riot on seventeen worlds in the coming weeks.
2235 - The United Space Marines are rebranded and absorbed into the general Colonial Military. Half the fleet is mothballed.
2236 - The Gilded Claw establishes themselves in Oraghar, also known as the Savage Land.
2239 - Escalation with the Striders slows commerce in Colonial space. Consequently, military policing drops to an all time low as resources are drawn to the core worlds. Reports of lawlessness go unanswered on fringe systems.
2240 - The Quarantine Line is suspended briefly as blockade ships are redeployed elsewhere for the growing war effort. Not long after, Leviathan Outpost reports a Skaarj warship breaching Na Pali orbit. The move goes uncontested, although Leviathan observes a high atmosphere conflict with Veganian Mercenary forces. The ensuing battles destabilize certain networks of Skaarj control. Four months later the blockade is reinstated. Older service era vessels are taken out of retirement and retrofitted to serve the new Quarantine line.
2241 - The Vortex Hibernia leaves Shipyard 6, outbound on contractual duty for Liandri. They never report for their scheduled check in eight weeks later...
A deep space mining vessel finds itself the unlikely target of a political coup. A radical movement spreading on the outskirts of the colonies in recent years has managed to infiltrate the blue collar workforce of the Vortex Hibernia, en route to a destination in a far off asteroid belt. This terminus will never be reached. With members of the group embedded even within the ranks of the bridge crew it does not take long for the mining craft to divert to its new destination...Na Pali.
Mutineers spread their influence and battle the small security force stationed on the vessel to a bloody stalemate. Soon, all that stands in the Vortex Hibernia's way is the Na Pali quarantine line. Unknown to even the most firebrand leaders of the mutiny, there are those in their number planning more than a mere hijacking to further political ends. What happens next is perhaps inevitable. The Colonial Authority flagship leading the quarantine line fires a warning shot across the Vortex Hibernia's bow. At nearly the same moment, a suspicious explosion occurs in the engineering section. Out of control, the Vortex Hibernia finds itself locked onto a crash course with the planet. For the Extraditionalists who wished only to see their marooned loved ones again, a cold irony presents itself. Na Pali opens her arms and receives a new wreck to join an endless graveyard.
You are Patient 3. You awake some time after the crash. Dehydrated and left grievously injured by a bedside in the ship's medical wing, you test your bearings and get to your feet. Whether you were a true believer or just an unlucky worker caught in the middle, it no longer matters what your role in all of this was. Terrible things are breaking down the walls and you know too well where you are and what that means. Nobody is coming to save you.
Your choices made simpler by fate, all you can do is follow the sound of the alarms and hope that you can find a gun before something else finds you first.
