Abolishment of the Penal System on Pinascimate

Political event

We owe our Lordanian brethren for the birth of our people. But this was not a choice, this was forced upon us all. The people of Pinascimate have paid their dues, and earned the rights to their freedom.

— Jonathan Tersten, Mayor of Freetown

As the Lordanian Economy began to collapse in the 2250s, the prison system felt the ripples of this depression. Unable to maintain its infrastructure, riots and protests lead to a fire at Harelstone Prison. As more and more prisoners earned their freedom, or escaped into the uncharted regions of the planet, a prominent convict-politician Jonathan Tersten , leads the survivors of Harelstone to found a new city just to the west. Intense negotiations with the Lordanian Government leads to the abolishment of the penal system on the planet.   Pinascimate would remain fractured, with minor unrecognised regions. Tersten was able to negotiate recognition of the Pinascimate Republic, which became the primary government on the planet.
