This sector was charted by the Paranid during the isolation of the first Pious Mists expedition. They logged their findings for later Paranid to benefit from, but had to abandon their mission due to lack of resources and equipment. Development only started after the Godrealm of the Paranid reconnected with this system.
In the early years of its development this sector stood out due to mismanagement. Investigations into missing funds and resources, and even personnel, proved to be fruitless, but seemingly put an end to such incidents.
Pious Mists is one of the systems that can host a Kha'ak Hive and in this case it does so from gamestart although it is often destroyed without player involvement by the Godrealm Military.
