"In the UCE, there is the eternal contradiction between Colony and Empire. The colonials and imperials, while fundamentally the same citizens of the same state, view themselves as blocs with different goals towards the future of the UCE. Let us demonstrate for you the unpopularity of the nobility among the colonial class. On the planet Ceti Auriga II, there was a first colony that failed, leaving behind a handful of half-finished cities. It was scouted, reanalyzed, and found to be fit for re-habitation. The new colony flourished for five years before they came under attack from the inhabitants of the old colony, who had been infected by a kind of viral, parasitic oligochaetes and turned into feral, bestial creatures. The old and the new fought each other for three years while the colony requested aid from the UCEF repeatedly, until on the third year, one of the ferals of the original colonies opened containment on the power plant and turned a continent into plasmic mist. The UCEF investigators showed up sixteen months later, to discover somewhere in the vicinity of four hundred survivors, who testified before open and closed tribunal about the gross negligence of the UCE discovery service, response service, and biological contamination protocols. The story of Ceti Auriga II is listed in the UCE database in two sentences, which are about the profit loss of House Guntram, who had financed the first colony's construction. The UCE leadership, however wise and magnanimous, are often blind to the facts of life of the average colonial. Perhaps these events are what led to the formation of such groups as the CENTAL and COM-SECA -- ignorance of the basic rights of their constituents."
