| Ultimately even this arrangement was considered insufficient, and they were subject to a "voluntary resettlement" in a new colony. Fearmongering regarding their refusal to utilize modern hygiene instruments was utilized as an excuse, with claims that the Regressives would cause a surge in disease. Others argued that, through their rejection of technology, the luddites were holding the Enarans back. Regressive "criminals" were described as a growing threat to society.

| The resettlement was a gradual effort by government troops, spread over at least two months. Lists were produced and the Regressives were rounded up. The lack of contact from resettled Regressives, an odd observation considering their aversion to technology, led to speculation that the resettlement was in fact an extermination; the transport ships utilized in the operation, some theorized, did not actually travel anywhere, and that the Regressives were incinerated with a thermal sweep. Thousands of them were claimed to have been taken by the soldiers. After all the luddites were removed, Enaran history recorded that they were the ones who wanted to leave, and that they had died due to violence and disease at their new home.
