Ruzdal-5 is rich in natural resources. Metals and other minerals are in ample abundance, causing the rise of advanced industrial sectors through out the planet. One of the unique features of the planet is that it's also rich in Vermillium crystals, a popular power source among colonists.

    Death of the Great Plants
    Disaster / Destruction

    With no power, the great atmospheric processing plants soon followed the fate of the settlements. With no equipment left running to maintain system stability for the most sensitive of operations inside some of the plants, the plants suffer catastrophic damage in internal systems. Some were so severe that only foundations and rubble were left behind. In other cases, tech raiders even stormed some of the plants to loot them. Security forces were eventually overwhelmed by hordes of mad men. Some of the plants were soon converted into ramshackled fortresses where raiders and warlords would stage their campaign of savagery and hedonism on nearby settlements.

    The Dark Ages
    Era beginning/end

    Civilization gradually regressed. Barbarism and savagery were a common sight. What once were great cities are now battlegrounds for warring clans and tribes. Technology, with no fuel, are nothing more but scrap metal and are put to use as makeshift building material and improved armor and weapons for warriors and adventurers. What were once mighty gauss rifles are now jury rigged into makeshift crossbows and clubs, hovercars are converted into beast drawn carriages and bountiful malls and supermarkets degraded into overcrowded and foul smelling marketplaces. The outer walls of the domes have been put to use once more as reinforced walls for castle towns and fortresses.
