Humanity wastes little time in taking advantage of the curtain. Thousands pack their belongings and quickly begin exploring the cosmos. They encounter numerous worlds along the way, with Harmony being one of the most popular.

Because Harmony is so conducive to human life, it attracts the interest of many a colonist looking to settle down and create a brand new society. Unlike the colonialists of old, the settlers on Harmony have the advantage of Earth’s technological advancements. So they are able to furnish their lives with all the luxuries they could possibly want, this making for a world of prosperity and peace.

Life on Harmony is only lucrative and attractive because its people are able to use the curtain to carry out trade with Earth and other colonies. As such, when the curtain suddenly disappears, the results are disastrous.

Harmony transforms overnight. Without access to Earth’s resources, the people of Harmony are blown back to the dark ages, living a primitive existence where only the fittest survive.
