*In this Age, the San'Shyuum of ''[[High Charity]]'' began to realize that their numbers were dwindling due to the lack of fertile San'Shyuum females. To prevent inbreeding, the [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]] was tasked with leading [[Mission to Janjur Qom|a mission]] to [[Janjur Qom]] to retrieve a group of females from the [[Stoics]] that were willing to come to ''High Charity''.

However, the shield world's explosion was in fact a defensive tactic used to hide the world's inhabitants.
