New Earth Plague

Plague / Epidemic

The devastating New Earth Plague kills 40 million in the condemned HD885512 system. Disaster strikes the mining colony complex on LV-178. The orbiting DSMO Marion follows, breaking up in the atmosphere. While the cause is never confirmed, surviving records suggest biological contamination is responsible. The few survivors of the New Earth Plague are released from quarantine but are shunned from most colonies. Henrietta De Pype establishes Pype’s Dream on Rim Colony to give them a fresh start.
