History

Sesen was founded in 2922 or 2923 as an agriculture-focused colony, but the planet seemed unsuitable for further colonization due to toxic bacteria in the water. Traffickers convinced poor people to move to the colony with false promises. The original colonists, called the "Surveyors" started taxing the new settlers. Those were forced to pay in kind. The poor soil and the tax lead to a famine. A group under StarCitizen:Tentopet Jones attempted to seize control and killed or deported the Surveyors. Jones revoked the taxation.<ref name="ReferenceB">Template:Cite RSI</ref> Lacking any notable resources and being ignored by the StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth, the isolated colony started relying on piracy to survive.<ref name="ReferenceB"/><ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
