History

• Mismanagement of environment towards capitalistic ends leads to various environmental troubles, including monoculturization of key crops (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
• By 19th century: First contact with Denobula (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Soon followed by arrangement of mining rights on Denobula, which eventually led to a view among Denobulans that Antarans were despoiling the ecosystem, resulting in military action (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
• Mid-19th century: War with Denobula ends, following inadvertent mass famines triggered by biological strike at key Antaran crops intended to disrupt economy (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • 20 million die as a result of said famines (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Though direct conflict ended, Denobula continues to serve as a scapegoat by corporatists on Antar up to the 22nd century for the various ills and troubles of Antar, leading to continued distrust and hatred (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • After end of war, environmental reforms are instituted to prevent future such catastrophes (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
• Mid-22nd century: Relations with Denobula begin to finally normalize (ENT: "The Breach"; ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
  • Normalization of relations results in general loss of power by corporatist forces presenting Denobula as the source of all major problems on Antar, wave of political reformation (ENT Novel: Live by the Code)
