===Origins=== | |||
At some time in the 25th or early 26th centuries, the Castoffs' ancestors had worked as pirates in the [[Outer Colonies]], preying on the [[freighter]]s and [[colony ship]]s serving the distant network of far-flung worlds. Eventually, these pirates were apprehended and ultimately marooned on the inhospitable greenhouse world Netherop, despite the practice's outlawing in the [[Uniform Code of Military Justice]] and [[Planetary Penal Code]] under [[Colonial Administration Authority]] ruling. With such a cruel fate, the Castoffs' ancestors had been expected to die on Netherop stranded in the outermost limits of [[Human colonies|human space]]. However, the stranded pirates instead discovered the remnants of a [[Netherop species|long-dead civilization]] on Netherop, and were able to use the planet's remnant networks of cities and ancient technology to survive on Netherop - if not thrive. [[John-117]] estimated that those who had originally come to Netherop may have been around the mid-2470s - roughly fifty years prior to [[Blue Team]]'s own [[Battle of Netherop|adventure]] on the planet in [[2526]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Oblv10|HOblv|Chapter=10}} | |||
