Early history
Ivor was formed 4.3 billion years ago within a nascent Ivor System. Its biosphere began forming 3.3bn years back. 2 billion years ago, single-celled life began evolving.

Life on Ivor Prime evolved. For several million years reptiles were ascendant. Their era ended when a large Volcano detonated. As mammals reclaimed a mending planet, primates dominated the land while cetaceans ruled at sea. No Sentient Species evolved

In the last half of the 20th century on Earth, Humans had discovered a ancient transportation system and used it in the late 20th century to acquire technology to build 7 starships. These ships were lost along with the technology before the beginning of the third World War in 2026. These ship's crews had decided to leave the warring Earth and to form a now Colony on the World of Ivor Prime.

Humanity
In the early part of the 21st century, Humanity had developed a practical fusion-drive system which in turn allowed for the first manned vessel USS Achilles to be launched to the Sirius system. The Crew decided to abandon its mission and changed course. They were assumed lost by the people of Earth. Over the next century those colonist worked hard to create a sustainable civilization. In doing this they avoided the horror f the third world war.

By the 22nd Century the colonist remained isolationist and attacked passing ships to scare them away. Any ship that was captured was raided and the crew sent home in a sub-light vessel. Most civilizations do not know of the colony.
