Editing Sesheyan (section)

==History==
The Sesheyans call it ''aikeita'', the day of ghosts.  They came from the sky, they came with bright lights and incomprehensible magic.  They promised much and seemingly wanted so little.  

It was the Earth year 2274 when VoidCorp discovered Sheya and the primitive indigenous species that called it home.  Ecstatic at the discovery of sentient beings in their sphere of influence, the corporation was quick to negotiate the annexation of Sheya, bringing the Sesheyan people into the light of modernity.  Every July 13th, Sesheyans throughout the corporation are invited to celebrate their annexation day with a free desert at any company cafeteria.

At least that's how VoidCorp PR tells it.

To the rest of known space, the Sesheyans are lamented as the first species enslaved by humanity.  Inseer activists make regular attacks on the VoidCorp grid protesting the Sesheyan plight, and not a day passes without fresh condemnation from Orion politicians calling for Sesheyan liberation.

Within the corporation, the Sesheyans live a haunted, cursed life.  Their once comforting world of dark jungles filled with game is now overrun by bright lights and strange beings.  Those Sesheyans who leave their tribes to find work with the corporation are mourned for dead and unwelcome should they attempt to return.

One group of free Sesheyans does exist beyond the grasp of VoidCorp, on the planet Grith in the Corrivale system.  Claiming to have been taken from their world by unknown means in the distant past, they are in actuality a group that escaped VoidCorp during the confusion of the Second Galactic War.  This is something of an open secret that has drawn protest from VoidCorp, however the Galactic Concord has extended its protection to the free Sesheyans while simultaneously recognizing a pre-war territorial claim over the system from the Hatire.  While the corporation sees the settlement on Grith as an intolerable state of affairs, the reality is that Corrivale is far from VoidCorp's territory and their trade and exploration ships in the region are insufficient for a military engagement with the formidable naval force the Concord has deployed to the Verge.

The situation on Grith is complicated.  During the long silence of the Second War, the fledgling Hatire colony of Diamond Point was subjected to orbital bombardment by a VoidCorp cruiser, and the few survivors of that attack were driven off for other worlds a decade later by the Sesheyan refugees.   While the Hatire aren't exactly thrilled to share the world with uninvited guests, the fact that VoidCorp had bombed their colony to begin with left the Hatire inclined to cooperate with the Concord and accept the Sesheyans as long as they abide by Hatire law.  Grith being a humid "hothouse earth" world of jungles and landlocked seas, the Hatire settlements are concentrated in the temperate polar regions, leaving the rest of the world to the Sesheyans.
