History
Shadows in Flight
The Herodotus' navigational computers were programmed to register habitable planets and send the information back to the International Fleet and later Starways Congress. However, when Bean saw this planet appear, he shut off communication with Congress as he thought he had found a world for his children to live on. As they approached the planet, Carlotta Delphiki noticed the Formic Ark that was also approaching the planet. After the two ships met and the Formic drones showed Bean's children how to cure Anton's Key, they made plans to settle the planet.[1]
