Eons ago, a group of offworlders found a planet orbiting a Qg-type star. This planet was surrounded by a debris field that extended, at maximum, to five light-years from the atmosphere. It was comprised of various metals, liquids, solvents, and many other elements. The planet itself was suspected to have once supported a sentient species, but all traces of technology had been eradicated. The planet's ecosystem was also missing. Nothing more than one-cell organisms and various bacteria existed on the surface. Not a desert, but not marshlands either, the state of this planet confounded the offworlders minds. Study of the debris revealed not salvageable information, as any data system that had existed was now corrupted to the point of incoherence.

As they were unable to identify what happened, or why, they logged the planet as a UEE - an Unattainable Evolution Element. They then moved on to other worlds.

When the Energized Neurotronic Particle Wave (ENPW) swept throughout the galaxy, these offworlders were unaffected by the wave, which later studies revealed to have eradicated all life-forms that utilized neurotronic pulse matrices in their brains. The offworlder's species was based on that principle, but the group was withdrawn from the mass neurotronic pulse. They did not understand why they were spared. They studied their own biochemistry and learned that exposure to the UEE had altered their brain patterns radically away from that of the rest of their species. The scientists theorized that it was simply a galactic fluke. The theologists theorized that divine intervention had spared their lives. Neither side had concrete proof, so they dropped the matter, and began formulating a plan of what to do with themselves.

They made the decision to settle on a planet on the galactic barrier, the edge of the galaxy. Disassembling their ship, they cannibalized it for shelters and supplies. Initially, they were undisturbed, as the galaxy was now devoid of sentient life.

However, Biological Anomaly/Catalyst 43 (BA/C-43) soon arrived on their planet. A single day passed, and the entire settlement was never heard from again.
