History of Arcadia

The last message received from off-planet was beamed across all channels around midnight for most inhabitants of Arcadia. It consisted of the garbled voice of a Vasgarth speaking a strange dialect of their native tongue, and despite the interference, it could be roughly translated to "We see you. Soon the darkness will come." A recording of the message can be found in the Commonwealth's archives, although from the moment it was broadcast up until the present day, no Arcadian knows what the message means exactly, beyond it being a threat of some kind. It is assumed that it was sent by a Mazerite ship within the system, which was most likely responsible for destroying the navigation and communication buoys that cut the planet off.

To mark 100 years since the founding of the Commonwealth, a polished granite statue is erected outside Dietrich Plaza Building commemorating Dr. Katerina Dietrich, one of the most prominent founders of the CFAS and the first human to step foot on Arcadia, naming the planet in the process. Initially, the statue was going to be a likeness of Dr. Dietrich herself, but protests from those who had known her were adamant that she would not have approved of something so egotistical. Instead, the faction's logo, which Dr. Dietrich had designed herself, was portrayed, with a memorial plaque displayed beneath.
