Until recently, [[Morgan's Hope (STA)|Morgan's Hope]], the colony's capital, had thrived, but in the last year, strange events have been occurring: people residing on the planet have aged rapidly, structures that should have lasted for decades crumble in days, and [[crops]] that were planted in the morning mature overnight and are rotten before the next afternoon. Even more disturbing, the colonists are spreading rumors that [[Romulans (STA)|Romulans]] have been sighted in the [[Carina system (STA)|system]].

With unprotected newborns suffering, and more recent cases of the disorder beginning to activate in adults, tensions between the upper and lower castes are at a breaking point.<ref name="STATroubleOmned3"/>
