Shiss Colony

Shiss colonize new worlds by first dumping a few loads of Purple Throat Shiss on any marginally suitable world. Shiss don’t survey planets as the Union does. No one checks if the conditions are survivable or if the world is already occupied. They are left with marginal tools, weapons, and supplies and then checked periodically to see if the colony takes hold or if more Purples need to be sent.

Once a colony thrives Upper Caste Shiss move in expecting to be given all the fruits of Purple Shiss labor. Purples are then allowed to serve their masters as slaves on a world they made liveable.

This method of colonization has consequences as illustrated by the Nilfeheim Pirate raid of 2229 on a colony world recently declared ready for occupation by Yellow and Red Throat Shiss and later by 33 colonies rebelling that ended with 32 Colonies joining the Union and the 33rd Colony being completely destroyed.
