The origin of the colony [[JumpShip]] named '''''Pendragon''''' is something of a mystery. What is known is that the ''Pendragon'' appeared in the [[Idrmach]] system in the [[twenty-ninth century]].
 
 
 
==History==
 
==History==
Idrmarch had been a base of operations for a host of pirate bands of varying sizes which were the subject of an aggressive and determined "pirate cleansing" operation conducted by the nearby [[Lyran Commonwealth]] in [[2810]], and that operation had destroyed several large pirate bands as well as razing the greater part of the primitive arms manufacturing industries present on Idrmarch.<ref name="ISP3:IEp35">''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 '', p. 35: "Idrmarch"</ref>

The remaining pirate population of Idrmarch was left to die by the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]], and the Idrmarch system would soon have been left uninhabited if not for the arrival of the ''Pendragon'' and the four thousand colonists it was transporting. The colonists aboard the ''Pendragon'' claimed to have been the subject of a misjump in [[2372]], making them several centuries adrift of their origin, although this story couldn't be proved or disproved, leaving the possibility open that the colonists were deliberately covering their origins with an outlandish story to conceal their identities, with other possibilities for their origin including the ''Pendragon'' being a refugee ship from a failing former [[Rim Worlds Republic]] world looking to flee the legacies of [[Stefan Amaris]] and the Republic.<ref name="ISP3:IEp35"/>

Whatever the origins of the ''Pendragon'' and her human cargo, they proved the salvation of Idrmarch; while the pirates quickly moved to establish themselves as rulers over the world through a system of organized criminal families, Idrmarch was a green and fertile world, and the colonist population exploded, making the ''Pendragon'' directly responsible for the growth of a relatively prosperous [[Periphery]] world, even after the failure of the local [[HPG]] station left Idrmarch cut-off.<ref name="ISP3:IEp35"/>
