"Colonies, Inner and Outer, and even Earth, hear my voice. I am calling upon all of you to stop living on your knees. In a fateful day in 2163, the people of the Sol System gave in for peace at any price, gave up their autonomy and sovereignty, and began the centuries of darkness we now live in. We must right the wrongs done. This century is our rendezvous with destiny to dig in our heels, tell the Unified Earth Government along with its affiliated agencies we will not retreat any further, and not surrender until they are destroyed or we become martyrs for our cause. Pick up the ballot, and if the ballot does not succeed, pick up your rifles and head on the path to war, for the solution lies within each of us. I implore you to heed the call to duty to support us. We are The Accursed, and we will win."

- Zachary Lloyd, chairman of The Accursed

The Accursed was the name for the Human Decentralization Coalition (HDC) an group which had the stated goal of dissolving the  and returning  to a planet of nation-states, and allowing the colonies to forge their own destinies. The Accursed was very much a fringe group, its membership at its peak only reaching about 3,000 armed troops fighting across the galaxy, however, its funds were enormous, and it had many politicians under its thumb. The HDC's riches were due to a spat with an group on  which had captured a massive load of gold. In the aftermath, the gold was sent back to HDC headquarters on, who used the gold to bribe politicians and equip their fighters with the best equipment money could buy.

While during the the HDC participated mainly in clandestine actions, assassinating pro- officials within the  and replacing them with officials elected through fraud and bribery. The HDC, while it was largely regarded as insane extremists, wielded some form of power due to its riches. When the broke out in, the HDC's riches were placed in a bunker, supposed to be used for after the war, but the HDC never rose again, and tales of the bunker's riches spread far and wide, with many, from private citizens to  groups to those still wanting the HDC to form again searched for it, aiming to claim its riches for themselves.
