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.<ref name="Acamarian MA">[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Acamarian Acamarian], Memory Alpha</ref><ref name="Acamarian MB">[https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Acamarian Acamarian], Memory Beta</ref> | By 2266 enlightenment was beginning to dawn.

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.
