:Alastriona DeTroyes was born March 12, 2253 on the colony world, Pleione, in the main dome. Pleione had been a vibrant world until a comet struck the planet, shifting it's orbit. Now it is a frozen glacier world, barely habitable except for the colonial domes erected by Starfleet engineers. All of its inhabitants live in domed cities as the landscape outside is covered by frozen wastelands. | :Alastriona DeTroyes was born March 12, 2253 on the colony world, Pleione, in the main dome. | ||
:Pleione suffered a natural disaster when a comet stuck the planet, shifting it's orbit. Some of the inhabitants, known as "Exiles" escaped the disaster after learning of the catastrophe in advance from a prophecy from the one known as the "Oracle." | |||
:Every generation one person is chosen to take the place of advisor to the population of Pleione. Known as the "Oracle," this person's cerebral cortex is connected to a network of devices that are thought to influence his predictions, also known as prophecies. There are no known examples of inaccuracy, so the oracle's predictions are rated at 100%. | |||
:Since there were not a sufficient supply of star ships to transport the 2 billion inhabitants off world, most elected to undergo a process known as '''Termination.''' 1.8 billion inhabitants stepped into chambers constructed for the purpose of their Termination because it was believed to be a viable means of escape. A process was developed that would allow the Exiles to return. 1.2 billion of Pleione's inhabitants returned after the comet strike. It is not known what happened to those who did not return. There are myths which come from the survivors of what the other realm was like, of monsters waiting to devour the souls of those seeking the gateway to their return. The other realm is speculated to be in the 8th dimension and it is known as '''The Requelum.''' The practice of Termination was completely halted on Stardate 2256.0312 (Alastriona's birthday) after there was a report of environmental hazards associated with the equipment. It is not known what environmental hazards could harm a dead world. | |||

:Alastriona's parents were from a different colony world, Scylanthia, and were living on Pleione to avoid a dangerous radiation storm there. Although the wet, forest covered world was shielded, the exotic biosphere could have produced dangerous pathogens during the radiation storm coming from the Super Giant star, Epsilon Argyros. | :Alastriona's parents were from a different colony world, Scylanthia, and were living on Pleione to avoid a dangerous radiation storm there.
