In the year 1417 BBY, a small light cruiser left the planet Lew'el to explore the Far Outer Reach System for the purposes of enhancing their standing on the trade routes of the Old Republic. The planet they sought only had the numeric designation of 1207.3, but previous unmanned missions had shown evidence of similar topography and potential assets. The crew of 132 were led by four men: Admiral Stebor Bishop, Captain Clevan Festa, Lieutenant Thombo "Duke" Wellstan, and Lietuenant Hunter Fin-Marsam. The ship suffered major malfunctions upon entering the new planet's atmosphere, and while the crew was able to land the ship without loss of life, the crew was unable to raise a strong enough signal for help, and so was presumed lost by their home planet.
The displaced Lew'elans still continued with their mission to research the planet's assets for mining rights and discovered that the planet did indeed have geothermic properties in the case of a heretofore unknown variety of hydrogen gas. This gas, simply called "Mist" by Admiral Bishop, did have similar toxicity to hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide, but was not fatal to humans except for overexposure.
With no means of escape, Admiral Bishop declared that their ship be dismantled for the building of a colony where the 132 would live out their days on their new planet. Their new home would be called "Unmanarall" in the language of Lew'ela, and "Nowhere" in the New Basic language. Alone on their new planet, with no means of escape and without any outside interference, the 132 souls grew inward for the future generations to come.
