Many centuries ago, Netherop was home to an intelligent civilization.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}}{{Ref/Reuse|TD2}} | Many centuries ago, Netherop was home to an intelligent Tier 6 civilization.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}}{{Ref/Reuse|TD2}} During the [[Forerunner-Precursor war]], Netherop became home to [[Precursor]] fugitives who used a powerful weapon that was later dubbed the [[Divine Hand]] to destroy an attacking [[Guardian Custode]]. However, the use of this weapon wiped out the original inhabitants of the planet and effectively destroyed the planet itself, transforming Netherop from a lush world into a barely inhabitable wasteland.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out|Out}} This was later misattributed to being due to the great increases in temperature that resulted from [[Wikipedia:Greenhouse effect|greenhouse gases]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}}{{Ref/Reuse|TD2}} A survey was done by the UNSC of Netherop, but was cut short by the planet's hostile environment. The ''Military Survey of Uninhabited Planets'' would list Netherop as uninhabited, marginally survivable, and of minimal strategic value with no exploitable resources. Though the survey notes suggested that a properly equipped survey team should return, a classified ONI addendum listed the planet as possibly abandoned, suggesting that the survey had found anything from an old Colonial habitability probe to the presence of terrain features that could've been artificially constructed. [[Frederic-104]] would later guess that the survey had been electronically added to the ''MSUP'' by some clerk who only read the part about minimal strategic value and no exploitable resources and as such, the assessor's recommendation went unread and thus not acted upon.{{Ref/Novel|Id=O122|Oblv|Page=122}} | ||
At some point in probably the twenty-fifth century, a group of pirates with [[Insurrectionist]] leanings were marooned on the planet. Though they weren't expected to survive, the pirates and their descendants managed to make a living on Netherop, coming to call themselves the [[Castoffs]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Oblivion|Oblv}} | At some point in probably the twenty-fifth century, a group of pirates with [[Insurrectionist]] leanings were marooned on the planet.
