Bensonia

Located in the Votannis-system, the world was once the homeworld of a race of beings known as the Trunes, until it was settled by the Orions, who founded the prosperous Colony of Votannis. With Orion guidance, the Trunes rose to an advanced civilization.

However, during the turbulent period of the Reverse, a terrible civil war erupted on the planet, shortly after Emperor Arnet the Thoughtful took the throne on April 30th, 1154 CE. The massacre there killed over 40-million people in total, including 23.1 million Orions. The Trunes were wiped out and only a small number of Orions survived. These were the very darkest days of the Reverse.

Since the weapons used during the war were primitive slug-throwers, and not overly destructive, the planet was left with mostly intact ruins. These gave later Orion settlers and other visitors a telling insight into Orion civilization at its heights, though they had been plundered several times since.

The planet was conquered in 2153 during the  Borderland Blitz, the  Klingon Empire   annexation of the  Botchok Planetary Congress , becoming a protectorate world when the Orion government surrendered.
