The people of the desert world practiced what was considered sinful and taboo to the people of the early Trade Order. They received a single, incomplete report containing 'disturbing' information.

However, the leaders of the Unity of decided to reject the membership offer. Excited by the potential for profit in this new market, the Order authorized immediate integration and the emissaries initiated contact.
