Eventually sometime around the early 18th century the ungrateful colonists started to call themselves [[Vendikan|Vendikans]] and renamed their world Vendikar. This seems to coincide with an increase in their negative behavior. The amount of complaining they were doing increased and they objected more and more about their having to repay their debts to their home world with natural resources and other goods. | Eventually sometime around the early 18th century the ungrateful colonists started to call themselves [[Vendikan|Vendikans]] and renamed their world Vendikar.

By the late 18th century war had broken out between them and the colonists, a war that lasted more than 500 years. The conditions of this war were stipulated in a treaty signed by both worlds in 2031. As a result they shifted from fighting a real war to fighting a simulated war with casualties determined by computer projections, and the people willingly killing themselves in disintegration stations. Legitimate targets in the war included vessels orbiting the planet. The reneging of this treaty by either side could result in a real war. | By the late 18th century war had broken out between them and the colonists, a war that lasted more than 500 years.
