| Background |
Discovered in the beginning era of the interstellar journeys,
the humanoid culture of Iotia has been contaminated from the terrestrial
one before he enters vigor the Prime Directive: the Iotians have modeled
their society on a book on the gangsters, "Chicago Mobs of the Twenties",
accidently left by the USS Horizon a century before stellar date 4598.0.
The consequence has been the developement of an aberrant social based structure
on criminal similar elements to those of America (Earth) of the beginning
of the 20th century. Though this contamination has carried to the
planetary unification, the consequences have been an extreme poverty and
a needless shedding of blood. From the intervention of the Enterprise
in date 4598, the sociological teams of the Federation have driven the
Iotians in the direction of a form of more ethical government. |
