− | Dethenes was a highly advanced world (Tech level G)with a robust democracy of 70 billion people spread over the entire system. Sentient AI systems were already in place in the system-wide net, co-ordinating the huge amount of in system traffic. One of the major factors that led to the collapse was Virus arriving in system along with the warning messages carried. In Dethenes, the first arriving virus ships failed to replicate themselves through their usual means. Local AI's alerted the System Navy and arriving infected ships were isolated or destroyed. | + | Dethenes was a highly advanced world (Tech level G)with a robust democracy of 70 billion people spread over the entire system.

− | + | More importantly, all the Starport and major computer systems of the other worlds in the Technical Alliance were Dethenes-built. While virus invaded the many lower tech systems, crucial defence and operational systems remained in the hands of the human populations. On all worlds, the virus collapse was met with stiff resistance. | |
− | + | While the last of the Imperium collapsed around it, Dethenes fought a brief series of vicious wars in-system with invading virus fleets, but never suffered the effects of virus invading it's planetary computer systems. The rest of the Trade alliance were swiftly re-enforced once Dethenes was able, and suffered little to no virus invasion. The alliance closed its borders for good and began to wait out the collapse. | |

Twenty four years later, the Alliance is composed of the four Core systems, three colonies and two allied systems. There are sentient AI's of two different types along with the Imperial humans who make up the polity. TL16 system defence fleets and ground installations protect all core worlds and human forces are supplemented by millions of robot troops. | Twenty four years later, the Alliance is composed of the four Core systems, three colonies and two allied systems.

To the average citizen of Dethenes, the collapse of the Imperium and the rise of Virus has happened on a hololink. While there have been several wars fought in system, none of them approached the mainworld. Economic hard times came and went and, if anything, more productive and active lives are lived by the teeming billions that devote themselves to the great cause. There is a keen awareness of the collapse and Virus throughout the system, but it has touched few directly. For most people of Dethenes, the fear is now a memory. | To the average citizen of Dethenes, the collapse of the Imperium and the rise of Virus has happened on a hololink.

As citizens have slowly returned from active service and the Exodus, more and more first hand experiences are told and retold-but to the vast majority, these are stories about other places. Only the relative few who make the choice to go offworld see the true scale of the disaster. | As citizens have slowly returned from active service and the Exodus, more and more first hand experiences are told and retold-but to the vast majority, these are stories about other places.
