Starstruck

Glossary Entry: Omega 6

An automated farming disque that functioned as a penal colony, abandoned at the overthrow of the Incorporated Elysian Republic. During the cycles of AnarchEra, Xychromozonian authorities continued to drop the occasional incorrigible prisoner (usually of the political stripe, but sometimes a violent criminal) onto the disque. Such a drop was a one-way ticket. Lifers on the colony, meaning everyone on the colony who wasn’t dead within minutes of the drop, formed prisoner bands, thus improving their odds of survival on the disque’s surface. The smartest and toughest of these bands gradually became tribes. The toughest of these tribes (though, by all accounts, certainly not the smartest) were the unusually mean and incredibly stupid Lyconian Dromo‑Rustlers.
