Line 59: The mass migration of the population of the Union was inspired by the lifestyle of their ancient ancestors, the Samoyedic people of northwestern Siberia on [[Terra]], and continued every generation on Yalumth.

When sites have been chosen, the bulk of each colony moves after six to twelve months of preparation at the new site; the eldest within each colony, typically nonagenarians and older, invariably choose to remain behind in the old colony sites. These older Samoyeds typically cite a connection to the current colony and its environs, and choose to remain there to live out the remainder of their natural lives; the departing colonists leave behind enough resources to sustain these senescent colonies.
