In 2840, members of Clan Mongoose arrived and established their own colony on the planet. Due to it high oxygen levels in the atmosphere, the Mongoose settlers were forces build their cities in high altitudes of the planet. However, natives are forced to wear respirators when out doors, though some of the Worker Caste have implanted devices to allow them work in lower attitudes for mining purposes, however this limited these individuals from leaving the planet.[2]

This is the cause of the still existing feud between both Clans.[4]
