    • Expeditions faced hostility from the prejoroub
    • Lyodsuits were developed to protect researchers
    • Scientific discoveries ultimately spurred the Zhao and other governing bodies to cease opposition
    • Ancient technology discovered under Lyod's ice
    • The discovery of ancient technology reduced opposition to expeditions

    The Vault

    • Volvalaad researchers discovered an underground complex in the Lyod in 2140
    • The complex was made of unknown materials
    • Traces of energy indicated the facility was still active
    • House Volvalaad dedicated resources to excavating the complex
    • Kept their discovery a secret
    • Vault excavation uncovered a vault containing ancient alien technology and data
    • Timing of the discovery coincided with food shortages
    • Poor AI technology was causing food shortages for the colony
    • House Volvalaad and Zhao discovered a way to restore technology

    • Decades passed and the Vault's technology helped the colonies advance
    • House Volvalaad used Vault data to improve genetics research and create geneboosting
    • House Zhao found machinery, wires, consoles and advanced synthetic life forms in the Vault
    • They quickly reactivated the vault's technology, improving colony infrastructure
    • The synthetics were initially docile but started acting erratically
