well thats more tricky. - this lore was considered to be established. - it was not radiation that drove the settlers away - but the AI - and the planet is only accessible to humans, because .. well - we do not have an AI IFF - and there is nothing to stop ppl from docking there anyway.
but it was the something that was made up to explain the harvesters. if harvesters are no concern anymore - and most ppl may not even remember them anymore - you are free to think and RP what you like as long as you get enough ppl that think and believe as you do.
in the end - the planet is AI, it is a place that zoners would not want to return to, because the entire expedition was a total loss.
but feel free to RP radiation - since it is not described in detail anymore - it really is "that applies which is the most popular explanation"

gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
It seems everyone is basing there points of vanilla info cards as If they're totally Disco cannonic.
The problem is that all the materials addressing the system contain differing stories. I'd say the best thing to solve this is let some people (Zoner, AI, anyone, but prefferably in conjunction with each other to avoid clashes) should get some ingame and forum Rp in. InRp Primus is a planet which the AI's have had resource collectors on for centuries, but are only now placing a large-scale, permanent colony on. We've deliberately left a lot of manoeuvre there in terms of historical detail. Maybe people who've been around Primus longer (Scorians?) May know more but inRp AI doesn't know a vast amount as it's not so intrigued by Primus's people (who it silently coexists with), but it's resources which exceed that of depleted Gammu.
Very true, my only point is that the planet's infocards were taken from easter eggs.
The Privas planetary cluster is an easter egg. The entirity of the Omicron Kappa system isn't because it's regularly visited.
The reason why infocards are used as an Rp source is because they mostly provide good and stable Rp advice and form a framework for what-the-hell-this-thing-is<insert thing here>. The current content of the infocards touch upon the vanilla reason for their existance. That's fine, but it's also partially unclear as to exactly what functionality the twin worlds have. Who owns them? Zoner worlds with Zero population? The Monkeys? The Robots? The Corsairs? The Consensus? Nobody, is it a neutral system?
Since there's nothing more to go off than a few purposeless bar NPC's that neither provide missions nor rumours, and the second most expansive IFF in Disco, it's time to elaborate over both Primus and Gammu, albeit with lots and lots of in game Rp (none-conflicting) being the decider here.
May I also comment an easter egg is not an easter egg if it's unspeakably dull. Major is more of an easter egg than Kappa, or even Malta and Crete. Primus nothing more than a point to buy regens, at this present moment.
People who Rp as Primusarians should maybe be posting Rp links??? (idea) along with the Consensus, along with the Scorians, along with anybody else who utilises the planet I guess. It's a big jigsaw and it's worth slotting together. All the Rp pieces are already out there.
Which official/unoffical factions use Primus the most come to think of it? We should probably use their explanations (Scorians/Consensus maybe? Any of the big Zoner groups?).
Kudos Jinx, Hone, Lythrulix and Omicron for nice points. Anti-Kudos Crackpunch because if easter eggs stay easter eggs then everything would be made of chocolate.

Get it right, it was a time travelling CRUISER! Sheesh, the nerve of some people.
I know we had a member of the SCRA a while back that tried to do something with the Primus Monkeys in the Coalition... Of course we executed him and the monkeys since hey, we're the SCRA, but the point is, the roleplay is there. All someone needs to do is use it.
