The Outcasts

In 2104 OTT 25,000 “Superhumans ” leave Earth in the Ark Apollo. Ark Apollo was a Super Ark with the new ISAH drive. It was completed by GE in 2103 and originally intended to ferry 25,000 colonists to planet Diana. However United Earth "evicted" 25,000 Super-humans. Earthers that used genetic and cybernetic means to alter themselves. While most of the approximately twelve million super humans, were law abiding citizens. About 25,000 became virtually insane and drunk with power and a feeling of supremacy. Terrible crimes were committed. with a new motive : I committed the Crime because I could. Senseless crimes such as throwing a bus filled with passengers. Burning people using Pyrokinesis and so forth. The perpetrators that were caught had been punished or executed.However approximately 25,000 who weren't convinced or unwilling to commit to laws were exiled from Earth to a garden world called New Olympus. The Ark arrived safely in 2166 OTT

The “New Gods ” almost immediately started fighting among each other and for the right to rule. Of the 25,000 only about 9,000 survived the first ten years of the colony. Without access to Gene crafting technology, most of the second generation reverted to natural human state, as most gene crafts were not inherited by their offspring. Some of the genetic alterations, when mixed during copulation, led to a large number of deformed and handicapped offspring.

The Outcasts were shunned and discriminated by both sides of the society. In 2192 OTT the Colonists decided to exile the Outcasts to an island of their own. Copulation and procreation between enhanced humans was prohibited with draconian consequences.

The Outcasts suffered greatly and were almost extinct when their condition became known to the Union Assembly.

Most of the Outcasts could not be saved and simply outlived their existence in Union clinics and respite places.

A few however survived. Some became Union citizens. The largest remaining group requested 10 Poodle ships with extended range to find their own new home.

None of the Outcasts have been seen or heard from again.
