BICORNN E563576-2 Rob Dean (robdean@access.digex.net) Settled in 390 by a group of Utopian idealists, the planet pros- pered for 500 years, although it divided into several nations. Always isolated from the Imperial mainstream, a war was waged using biologi- cal agents in 893, at which time the population was 877-8. In less than a year, 95% of the planetary population died, and civilization disappeared. Virulent diseases (to which the present population is immune) remain active in the biosphere, which ensures that the world continues to be isolated. No exports or travellers from Bicornn are permitted to land on any other world in the region, and offworld visi- tors are advised to remain in protective suits. |
