"You must understand that the Second Galactic Civil War was violent and prolonged. Despite his carnal obsessions and advancing years, the warlord was still a formidable foe. Gains were slow, casualties vast, but eventually the rebellion had reduced the warlord to one remaining planet: his seat of power, Old Earth. Yet it was extremely well-defended, and with the prospect of a never-ending siege in sight, the galactic council took the most extreme of options in order to finally bring the conflict to a close. Old Earth was destroyed from orbit, with a nuclear bombardment not seen before or since.

Yet it was still important to our history, so we sought out a new planet to call our own. The galaxy aided us in our search, and eventually a planet was located that matched the environment of Old Earth in nearly every way. Now, centuries later, that planet is known as New Earth and is a thriving centre of commerce and culture."
