A few weeks after the War for Tir-Torzor, a fleet of five Minare spaceships surrounded the outpost in Antarctica. An A.I. drone was sent to make contact and begin negotiations, and a deal was agreed on over the course of a day. An unforeseen condition was set by the Minare fleet commander, in which the Apiary got to emancipate all humans imprisoned at the outpost for export to Irrdnis. It was revealed that the humans they had on their planet became a source of much blame and were labeled an invasive species.

According to the commander, the issues were not so noticeable for the first few [Irrdnis] years. Societies seemed to benefit immensely from the introduction of humans to the global market. They were exploited as pets, used for daily tasks, entertainment, pest prevention, breeding mills, and experiments. The first signs of what would bring about their disfavor, was when humans would run away or defy their owners. Many owners thought they were an alien species naturally lacking self-agency, because of the pervasive conventional wisdom set by Lumpher Iiov Phorro’s reports and the Baggsab’s notorious loyalty to their masters. For this, no consideration was made for whether or not humans wanted to be property.I

Once a human escaped, they would be deemed feral. These “ferals” were said to scavenge, steal, leave messes, and some seemed to constantly attempt to mate with anything. Larger groups that formed were sometimes reported to have attacked smaller or infirm individual minare. Adding to the growing stigma were the human eating habits which - unlike the herbivorous Minare or the planktivorous Anuh-Kaj - are omnivorous in nature. In conjunction with their relatively formidable territorial behavior, they were known to wreak havoc on some of the more sensitive ecosystems. These facts are the basis for the most loathsome and unproven allegations of humans resorting to casual cannibalism, and even the devouring of minare babies and children.

The greatest factor to bring conventional human popularity to its nadir came when dead human subjects of gene-splicing experiments were improperly disposed. The surrounding minare became intoxicated from accidently inhaling the ashes dispersed throughout the air. This commenced a devastating global epidemic of an addictive narcotic powder made from desiccated and crushed gene-spliced humans, known as juggurog. Its spread in usage became so bad, seven kingdoms collapsed into fractured places. These places became populated with the addicted, and gangs were created to focus on the manufacturing and trade of juggurog.

Facing a dilemma between humans’ usefulness and their threat to the current order, the other xamiums came together to form a pact. It was a compromise comprised of a series of agreed upon decrees that had both, the manufacturing and trade of juggurog, and imports of humans, become illegal and subject to severe punishments. This brought the future of the last outpost on Tir-Torzor into question, as its main purpose was to store captives for later shipping. A skeleton crew was staffed and rotated for upkeep until a resolution on what to do with it could be made. In the meantime, the outpost staff shirked the decrees and had humans smuggled to Irrdnis for trade. The Apiary’s victory in the War for Tir-Torzor made the choice to abandon the world in total, an uncomplicated opportunity. After evacuating all personnel and Baggsab, the fleet went through the wormhole. After several hours, it closed for the first time in twenty-five years.

Twenty-seven [Tir-Torzor] years after last contact, the wormhole opened again. A single Minare spaceship - with its commander acting as ambassador - requested an audience for a parlay with the Apiary. This time, the Minare wanted to see if they could deport an undesirable people from Irrdnis to Tir-Torzor. These people were known as the Huwaty. They were a minority of assorted human-minare hybrids – created via genesplicing or natural births – who were considered as neither and faced prejudices from both sides. The human population on Tir-Torzor became increasingly restless around this time, so the Apiary agreed to accept the first huwaty immigrants to see if they could be suitable substitutes for human labor. This agreement – plus the shipment of some artifacts and records by the Minare out of a gesture of goodwill – between Eas-Enerang and Irrdnis marked the beginning of the Huwaty Immigration.

I Except for Baggsab converts, no human wanted to be property.
