Thoas

Thoas is a Federation Colony World, and is touted by the Federation as the greatest show of benevolence to planets that wish to join them.

Post-Scream
Thoas was a world that relied heavily on Jump Gate technology to provide shipments of food for their world. When the Scream tore that technology from humanity, it also took the shipments with them.

Naturally, the few hydroponic facilities built by the colonists struggled under the strain of providing for so many people, and riots began over the inequality of rationing. This came to a boiling point when an unknown group destroyed the hydroponic facilities in a terrorist bombing.

The result was war. Faced with the prospect of never being able to eat again, the colonists turned upon each other, killing and cannibalising the dead so that they would have another meal for the day. Nobody alive today knows how many people died in that war, but a few stories survive from those old days tell of the terrible horrors that these people had to endure just to survive.

While food remained an ever-present issue in the day-to-day lives of Thoas' population, they weren't completely without hope. While Thoas lacked the biosphere and infrastructure to create new hydroponic facilities, they had the technology to last a great many years

Post-Silence
The ending of The Silence was one of the greatest boons to Thoas' survival. Being so close to the Federation's capital meant that they were one of the first to begin diplomatic efforts with the budding superpower, and were one of the first to join the Federation.

With grander prospects than their desolate homeworld, many of Thoas' citizens left and emigrated to other Federation worlds, in the end, few stayed. However, the Federation wouldn't abandon planets within their domain, and so they began a restoration effort there.

The Federation built new hydroponic facilities, they brought small, yet sufficient food shipments to the planets, they began the foundation and construction of their Colony Towers. After a few years, the Thoas that existed during The Silence was a mere memory, and a new planet greeted the people who traveled there.
