| Having
unknowingly settled within Gorn claimed space, the original 125 person colony
on Cestus III was killed in an unanticipated Gorn attack. Subsequent negotiations
with the Gorn averted full-scale war once both sides realized the misunderstanding.
Thereafter, Cestus III was granted to the Confederation under an agreement
that limited both governments' expansion in the area. After 15 years, the
original colony has been rebuilt, and is valuable both for mining and for
trade with the Gorn. This latter aspect is only marginal, however, as resentment
over the death of the first colonists still remains. For more information, click here. |
