On October 20, 3306, as numerous [[Marlin Duval|Marlinists]] fled [[Empire|Imperial]] space to avoid persecution amid the [[Imperial Navy]]'s anti-terrorism operation against the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]], some of these political refugees arrived in several outlying [[Federation|Federal]] systems seeking asylum, sparking a diplomatic confrontation between the two superpowers.

The Alliance began an initiative to colonise the [[Coalsack Nebula]] on November 12, 3306, weeks after a ghost ship, the [[Adamastor]], returned to the Chukchan system and revealed that a [[Penelope Carver|survey team]] had discovered [[Thargoid Barnacle]]s in the nebula almost two centuries ago.
