In the game
A century ago, one of the planets in this empire's home system was destroyed by a freak asteroid. Some believed this was a malicious attack by an alien species. Others brushed off these concerns as mere paranoia. The tension between the two groups grew so great that a newly-terraformed planet was granted to the fearmongers.
