Roanoke (Earth) (Decade of Dark Horse #1)
Roanoke was a colony off the shore of North America, in which every person vanished without a trace between the time of its founding (1587) and the return of the expedition's leader (1590). In hopes of securing permanent trading posts for Britain, Sir Walter Raleigh had initiated explorations of the islands off North Carolina as early as 1584. Because of the Indian threat, the first Raleigh-sponsored settlement on Roanoke Island lasted only a short period (1585-86). The next year approximately 100 settlers under Governor John White attempted to colonize the same site. Returning to England for supplies, White was delayed by the Spanish Armada. By the time he got back to the island in August 1590, everyone had vanished. The only trace of the "lost colony" was the word Croatoan carved on one tree and the word Cro on another. The group may have been annihilated by hostile Indians, but there is just as valid speculation that it may have moved among a friendly tribe.
In any event, the mystery of the "lost colony" has never been solved. It is speculated that the Yautja were the ones who hunted the people of the colony out of existence, because of the gun the Yautja had that was dated 1715.
