History

How did the settlement come to be? Has it stood since before the Gap, a bastion of stability while the rest of the galaxy changed around it? Perhaps it was built over the ruins of another civilization that was destroyed eons ago by powerful invaders still traveling the distant stars. Or perhaps it's a young settlement, founded recently by refugees seeking to escape the Swarm. Is it the first settlement on a planet of untamed wilderness or a city of refugees built on the same asteroid that ruined a once-thriving metropolitan world? How have the residents of the settlement adapted to change, and in what ways have they failed to do so?
