Sigrid

Sigrid is a Federation Colony World, and the home of the Society of Human Evolution.

Pre-Scream
During the years before the Scream, Sigrid was a world torn between two factions. On one side, were a group of eugenicists bent on creating the perfect human being. On the other side, were the Perimeter Agency. An organisation whose sole goal was the destruction of maltech.

The battle between these two factions was a quiet one, fought among the shadows. While direct conflict was hardly a rare occurrence, civilians were never drawn into the fighting.

All of this changed when the Scream came.

Post-Scream
The Scream tore the Perimeter Agency's resources away from them. With a limit to their supplies, the Perimeter Agency had to resort to desperate measures in order to survive. In the end, there is no record of their continued existence after the lifting of the Silence.

This hardly means that they lost the war, however. There are few surviving records of the events between the Scream and the end of the Silence, however, the few records found detail a plan created by the Perimeter Agency to destroy the eugenics cult that had formed on the planet. It appears to have been successful, as no records of the eugenics cult exist to this day.

The Rise of the Society
The Society of Human Evolution began as a think tank, theorising possible modifications to the human genome in order to facilitate easier an easier life upon hostile worlds. From their very foundation, the Society has been accused of being another eugenics cult. However, repeated investigations and audits on Society holdings have found no evidence of human experimentation, past or planned. Thus, the Society continues to this very day.
