It is well documented all groups and individuals who conspired against the Apiary had their deals revoked. As for those who did not violate their agreement, some got exactly what they asked for, many got substitutions in one form or another, and the rest are still waiting for theirs to be fulfilled at the time of this book’s publication.

For the next twenty years on Tir-Torzor, other than reports to Eas-Enerang from the Colonial Overseer about general Anuh-Kaj immigration and colony development, details during this time are severely lacking. Memory Trace Libraries of Eas-Enerang restricted access to further information about this unusually vacant historical period, which proved problematic in verifying repeated accusations against the Apiary. These largely revolved around further accusations of how Apiary colonial administrators would outright ignore human communities being victimized by the Anuh-Kaj and the Cetaceans. Some of the worst stories included sudden forced displacement, massacres, or experiments on humans. Requests to explore and excavate these presumed communities have all been declined by Apiary authorities. Current colonial settlements happen to have been built over the locales, where many of these sites used to be preceding their people’s reputed displacement or rumored annihilation.

Notwithstanding, there are two indisputable occurrences within this timeframe: the development of human reservations, and all humans garnering the status of ‘domestic foreign’. According to the Apiary’s Colonial Law, ‘domestic foreigns’ are described as, “…the Apiary’s burdensome native peoples, who are part of the Apiary’s claims but are not its subjects.” Using this, the Humans were tasked with systematic responsibilities (e.g. reaching mandates, paying off debts, facing penalties, etc…) but could not receive any of the benefits enjoyed by those recognized as subjects. (e.g. healthcare, emergency housing, unconditional access to common public areas, etc…) Meanwhile, there were several human communities around the world that became the destination of mass migrations (later confirmed to have been, at least, partially engineered by the Apiary,) and the largest producers of greenhouse gases. These places culminated the status of ‘reservations’; legally designated zones of land, governed by its resident domestic foreign community’s polity, which had to be officially recognized by the Apiary.

It was based on these grievances – evidenced or otherwise – the foundations for what would become the Great Troubles of Tir-Torzor are set.
