	When a huge colony ship, the '''[[USS Seneca]]''', appeared in the skies above Raana's jungles in December 2230, the planet entered a new era that definitively saw humans as its rulers. Over 5,000 settlers landed around [[Prometheus Lake]] and established the first outposts... that later welcomed an additional 25,000 humans in three further large ships, arriving in 2231, 2233 and 2247 (USS Vega).

	Over 350 years ago, the first wave of inhabitants arrived on Raana via the [[Celassi]] [[Stargates\|Stargate]]. It was a handpicked group of 366 young people, entrusted with establishing an outpost capable of accommodating bigger groups over the next decade. ~~Regrettably~~, the first wave crashed their ship the '''[[USS Dorothea]]''' close to the [[Beryll Mountains\|Beryll Mountain range]], not far from where [[Ikaanos#Ikaanos City\|Ikaanos City]] now resides.

	Unbeknownst to UESA back on [[Earth]], the majority of colonists survived the crash. However, communication with Earth was now impossible owing to the destroyed ship's primary, secondary, and backup deep space transmitters being irreparably damaged.

	After a century, only a few earthly traditions remained. ''[[Kingdom of David\|The First Wavers]]'' had established a tribal society more akin to a medieval world with swords and wooden carts than to their founding fathers' high-tech civilization. About half founded a town and called it [[New Eden]], which formed the nucleus of the [[Kingdom of David]], and half took up independent village existences in the forest.
