The Acamarians were a war-torn people for centuries, their people divided into many different clans. Members were responsible for upholding the honour of their clan by righting any wrong committed against them on an extreme level. Being as the vengeance that they meted out would also need to be avenged by the opposing clan, the planet remained locked in bitter civil war, each clan tied into many differing blood feuds with a multitude of opponents. | The Acamarians were a war-torn people for centuries, their people divided into many different clans.

By 2266 enlightenment was beginning to dawn. The latest formation of the Acamarian government held peaceful negotiations concerning the majority of the planet's clan system, joining them together finally to end the several hundred years of clan rivalry and civil war. However, not all of the planet's denizens agreed to the terms by which they proposed the populace should live, and members of a number of clans broke away, forming a group named the [[MA:Gatherer|Gatherers]]. These people chose to live in exile, off-world, raiding ships and outposts of any origin to obtain the means to feed and defend themselves. | By 2266 enlightenment was beginning to dawn.

On stardate 43421.9, the [[MA: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS Enterprise]] ran into a facility that had been ransacked by the Gatherers. Believing that it was long past time that the threat of raids in the Theta Eridani sector was put to an end, Captain [[MA:Jean-Luc Picard|Jean-Luc Picard]] approached the sovereign of Acamar III, [[MA:Marouk|Marouk]], to organise and mediate negotiations to reinclude them in Acamarian society. | On stardate 43421.9, the [[MA: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS Enterprise]] ran into a facility that had been ransacked by the Gatherers.

The task was difficult. While [[MA:Marouk|Marouk]] was willing to make an attempt at a settlement, she was also reluctant to give ground to the Gatherers, believing that they were out to take as much as they could. On the opposite side, the [[MA:Gatherer|Gatherer]] representative, [[MA:Chorgan|Chorgan]], believed that the Acamarians had no wish to offer them a home, and that they were attempting to lure them into a trap. | The task was difficult.

The discussions were almost derailed when it was discovered that the seemingly inocuous death of a member of the [[MA:Gatherer|Gatherers]] was in fact a murder, caused by a specifically tailored [[MA:Microvirus|microvirus]]. However, due to investigations led by Commander [[MA:William T. Riker|William T. Riker]], the murderer was apprehended before she had a chance to complete the obliteration of the [[MA:Lornak|Lornak]] clan by assassinating the leader of the [[MA:Gatherer|Gatherers]]. | The discussions were almost derailed when it was discovered that the seemingly inocuous death of a member of the [[MA:Gatherer|Gatherers]] was in fact a murder, caused by a specifically tailored [[MA:Microvirus|microvirus]].
