Religious event
In 329 AE the generation ships of Veran would pass by a small swarm of asteroids, though this would normaly not be a problem, however undetected damage from the initinal evacuations on two of the ships would lead to the venting of a third of their food stocks. The resulting famine would provide the memebers of a growing religion known as the Twins of Salvation the opertunity to gain significant followers over the next decades. This would see a full third of the population as worshipers by the end of the famine in 361.
