System CollapseChapter 2
Revelation of the Separatist Colony
During negotiations in the secondary colony, Adamantine survivors reveal a hidden polar separatist site near the terraforming engines, established 30 years ago with contact lost for 20 years.
Outcome
This disclosure upends the evacuation plan, complicates legal battles against Barish-Estranza salvage claims, and drives the team to investigate the Pre-CR installation.
