As the San Santiago Sector grew more wealthy, an independence movement grew with it. Young men and women wanting to build a new life out on the fringes of civilization soon found that civilization followed them with rules and regulations that made no sense out there. That shouldn’t even exist according to the Union Charter, but Central Council colonial officials imposed them and Central Council judges approved them. The colonial populations became more restive as the century came to a close. And the more restive they got, the more colonial officials pressed back with more onerous restrictions and punishments. The San Santiago Sector was rich with both resources and resentment as the new century dawned, and that was not good for anybody.
