Shortly before the invention of the hyperdrive, Earth experienced a brief period of conflict involving both nuclear and biological weaponry.
This conflict consisted of terrorist attacks using these terrible weapons. The people responsible were a quasi-religious that believed that humankind was too wicked to survive. In addition to the nuclear and biological attacks, these terrorists were responsible for the destruction of the original fleet meant to colonize Hope.
The resulting war was brief and the cultists were hunted down and killed. But even still, there had been significant damage to the Earth's ecosystem. Had it not been for the timely intervention of the Irrothlyr, the terrorists might have posthumously succeded in thier aims.
Even now, more than 400 years later, a few traces of that conflict remain.
