In 803 NT, the Alliance of the Word recorded the Jump Gate connection from this previously unexplored sector to Sacred Relic as the first to reopen after the Gate Shutdown. For nearly twenty years, the Gate network would unpredictably disconnect and reroute gates before it stabilised. During this time, developing this sector was a risky undertaking. All expeditions had to be self-sufficient, as they could not rely on the Gate to remain open once they passed through. Additionally, Accelerators had to be set up to reach required resources far from the Jump Gate. Nevertheless, the Paranid took that risk and sent expeditions into this system. They were arguably well-rewarded, as the expeditions helped later development and the sector turned into an important crossroads in the Gate network.
Pious Mists II is unique for the system in that it has no mineral or gas resources at all, it is further distinguished as being the principle conflict zone between the Holy Order and the Godrealm of the Paranid, however, this battleground can shift as either side gains an upper hand or the player intervenes.
