Things went well for the around 600 years. Wayee's Great Grandfather King Seylorr was now on the throne and was contining with the work that he had inherited from his for-fathers. Food now was being grown on Mystick, and on Griss'isdey Wyrd. The Oceans of Torklatta was now full on sea life that had been transported from Thryee. And on the Sand Planet Meggallom, more than half of its sea's of sand had been reformatted into Oceans of Water. The Sandy Lands now able to at long last start to grown plant life. . Things were good. But a plague broke out on Meggallom that killed over half the population in months. It was believed that something in the New Oceans, combining with Sea Life from Thryee had caused some type of Toxic imbalance. The Planet of Meggallom became quarantined. No one was allowed to enter or leave the Planet. This meant that no food was now being supplied. A cure was looked for and many attempts were made to find a vaccine for the Plague. It seemed that all races had little if any resistance to the plague. No vaccine proved to be very successful. And as little as 20 years all life on the Planet was extinct. Travel between planets had been restricted since the first outbreak, and lucky enough the plague had been contained to just Meggallom.
Later it was discovered that the changes made to the planet had been the cause. The Water and the Sea Life brought in from Thryee had reacted with a common strand if sand fleas that lived beneath the ground. These fleas were threat to anyone, in fact they provided a service as they fed and waste materials. They soon adapted and started to live in the Oceans as well as there was a new source of food to be found there. The Fleas had started to feed on natural waste materials from the larger sea creatures. This had had a big effect on the Fleas and their appetite started to develop away from dead things and onto live ones. They started to feed on anything they could find to eat. There appetite began to grow as did the small microscopic bugs themselves. Now they started to eat living creatures This included all the Races on the Planet. Once bitten, a flea would lay its eggs inside its host, these would hatch and they would grow within the host ultimately killing it in the process. As the Fleas were still small at the time, many who got bitten did not realize what had happened util it was too late. The fleas had developed and now were the only "population" on the Planet. They were reproducing at a record amount and now fed on each other.
It was around this time that the government of Ankar decided that steps need to be taken to ensure the safety of the other people on the other planets. A major source of food was now gone, the population was growing and soon this would cause issues. Regulations were introduced limiting the number of children any family could have. This was an issue to some races as many like the Evarateen , Zefti and Dumbol females would give birth to more than one child at a time. Other races like the Ankar, Farllon, Neetine and X-Alin would normally only have one of two children from a standard pregnancy. The Zull and the Betramma usually had Twins. The many of the others could reproduced infants in a number of weeks, not months. So it was agreed that every race would be given a limit to how many children they could have. This was agreed by some with a reluctance, but all the people knew that if the population was not kept in check this would cause disaster in the long term. Again many did choose to leave the the shielded area, and a number of the largest transport vesicles were made available to those who wanted to leave as they would not or could not abide by this new law. It had been estimated that 1% of the whole population left, made up roughly of equal numbers of the different races. The biggest surprise was many of the Cambriana, the only race that did not reproduce naturally and were all clones, also decided to leave.
As Meggallom was now a dead planet, and would always be a penitential risk of the plague some how transferring from the planets surface. A decision was made that the Planet needed to be destroyed. As it shared a orbit with Torklatta anything you did to one planet would effect the orbit of the other. So after long discussions it was decided to evacuate the Population of Torklatta to places on the other Planets and eject both Meggallom and Torklatta out of the shielded area. This would allow the Shielded Area to be contracted to a smaller size. Thus saving energy and at the same time making it stronger as a result.
Finally after much planning, using a number of controlled explosions on both planets at the same time both Meggallom and Torklatta were blasted free from there orbit around the Blue Sun.
The Scientists were unsure what damage having two large objects passing through the Shield would cause, but it would hopefully be compensated by having the shield contracted afterwards. The Planet leaving the Shield Area turned out to be very uneventful, however the Moon Allom that Orbited Meggallom broke free from its Planets gravity and was catapulted towards the centre of Ankarian Solar system. This caused the orbit of Mystik to change as a result. Many deaths resulted with violent volcanic eruptions caused by this change. Mystik would finally settle in a new orbit and life on the planet started to return to normal. For many months as the Moon of Allom traveled slowly towards the heart of the Empire. Many were worried it could collide or have similar effects on the other Planets. Then it was found that Allom was starting to slow down and eventually it adopted a stable orbit around Karro The Blue Sun . It now sat between Karank and Mystik. This Moon was now renamed Mynallom and due to its closeness to the Sun could become a Planet that could be populated if need. Scientists discovered that there was not any chance of the new planet being infected from what had happen on Meggallom as the thin layer of atmosphere that the Moon had had, had now dispersed and the planet was completely life less. Later artificial habitats were set up and in time three Cities were built. Two named after the Planets Torklatta & Meggallom and the 3rd Mystika in memory of the People who died as a result of the the Planet Mystik's orbit changing.
Within 10 years the Shielded Area had been slowly contracted to the size it had remained until it was deactivated.
