Sintar was discovered during the Great Exodus from Terra around 2100. The Sintarans were at that time reaching Tech/5-6 and subsequent trading and tech adoption soon raised the overall level to Tech/6-7. The natives soon mastered the engineering of space travel and explored their own star system. The human contacts took the surprising (at that time, pre-Covenant) decision that it would be best to let the natives progress at their own speed and not push development too hard.
During the Collapse, contact between Terra and Sintar dwindled to the point of non-existence and Sintar's development stagnated until it was re-contacted by the Terran Union in 2307. The Terrans were surprised by the Sintarans' decision against interstellar exploration and colonisation, but once further technological assistance was accepted they have developed native spaceship designs, mainly based on older Terran models. The Contact Service has instituted a 'hands-off' policy, allowing the native society to progress at its own pace and the planet was granted Affiliate membership of the UFP on an independent basis in 2510.
The Sintarans are very closely related to humans genetically with inter-breeding possible. The only significant difference being that, due to the atmosphere on Sintar, the natives have very high stamina, approaching transhuman levels.
