 ==History==
-It is possible that the Edo may be a transplanted race since they are governed by a transdimensional craft that the Edo worship as their god. This super-entity is in orbit around the planet, even today. In the distant past, the Edo were a lawless and chaotic people, through time they developed a legal system with the help of their God where a small number of "mediators" patrol randomly selected "punishment zones" where any infraction, even if accidental, results in immediate execution without appeal.<ref name="MA Edo>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Edo Edo], Memory Alpha</ref>
-Leaving Rubicun III was banned for the Edo for a long time. Eventually they would find colonies on other planets in the region of space claimed by their God. At some point in the 2980s, the Edo wishing to leave for other worlds could apply for a permit. A few individuals joined Starfleet at that time. The need for a permission was dropped somewhere in the 2390s, although very few opted to leave.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Independence/-115324716000078z8 Ensign Maria's Condition], Lt Sidney Riley, {{USS|Independence}}, 238307.18</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/4a9_WCE7_gI/m/5TKStwA3FgAJ Longing for the Paradise], Ens.

+The origin of the Edo is unknown. Some speculation suggests that the Edo do not originate from their current homeworld of Rubicun III. Instead, they may have been planted there by a trans-dimensional entity the Edo worship as a God.<ref name="MA Rubicun III">[[ma:Rubicun III|Rubicun III]], Memory Alpha</ref> As with their origin, much of the Edo history is poorly known due to their lack of historical records.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Ntq7dM1ZA1-AGvkTuto The frontier of history and the future], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240103.25</ref>
-By the 2390s, the Edo have joined the space-faring community, having engaged at least with the [[Betazoid]] people before being welcomed into the [[United Federation of Planets]], supposedly having a more direct involvement with their God and mediators.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-invicta/uApAMt-dMfw/SYsBUZEzPBgJ ''"Three's Company"''], Lt A.DeVeau, {{USS|Invicta}}, 239206.28</ref>
+The Edo refer to their distant past as the “Chaotic times”. During this time period, the Edo would fight wars among themselves. At the end of the last war during the Chaotic times, portions of the planet were likely left barren wasteland.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nv7xVlZfb6RBK4Rm7ep Garden of Death], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240104.10</ref> The current Edo legal code was adopted at the end of the Chaotic times.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-Nue-YjFuYZz15-73Efz A blessing and a curse], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240104.04</ref> This legal system consists of randomly selected punishment zones, where laws are enforced by a group of “mediators”, who would issue immediate execution to the criminals they met. The adoption of the current law has seen criminality being eliminated practically completely among the Edo.<ref name="MA Edo>[[ma:Edo]], Memory Alpha</ref> Other societal and cultural changes were also implemented at the end of the Chaotic times, including giving up eating meat.<ref name="You’ll never stop worrying about your family" />
+The Edo made first contact with [[Starfleet]] in [[2360s#2364|2364]], when the Edo welcomed a group of officers from USS ''Enterprise'' to the planet for shore leave. Despite the promising beginning, the first contact ended with an incident involving a violation of the Edo law and refusal of an execution. The Edo God met any attempts to take any Edo out of Rubicun III with force and asserted their control over the star cluster in which Rubicun III is located.<ref name="MA Justice">[[ma:Justice (episode)|Justice]], Memory Alpha</ref>
+After the first contact, the Edo and the Edo God began to be more directly involved with each other.<ref name="Luxury Tour">[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Invicta/-1435626521000 Luxury Tour], Farquan, {{USS|Invicta}}, 239206.30</ref>  The immediate reaction to the first contact were restrictions on the Edo from leaving Rubicun III or the star cluster.<ref name="Longing for the Paradise">[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Excalibur/-NNwvE29INsh3Gt0Fe5a Longing for the Paradise], Ens. Jovenan, {{USS|Excalibur|A}}, 240002.10</ref> However, the first contact also led to fast societal changes and lessening of several restrictions and penalties. These changes were accompanied by social turmoil.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Invicta/-1436335151000 Penalties], Farquan, {{USS|Invicta}}, 239207.08</ref> Eventually, the Edo started founding colonies on other planets in the star cluster claimed by the Edo God. At some point in or by the [[2380s]], the Edo wishing to leave for worlds out of their area could apply for a permit to do so.

The need for a permission was dropped somewhere in the [[2390s]]. The number of Edo emigrants has remained low, as very few has chosen to leave.<ref name="Longing for the Paradise" /> By the early 2390s, the Edo had joined the [[United Federation of Planets]].<ref name="Luxury Tour" />
