Roanoke Resettlement

The Roanoke Resettlement was an event that occurred in August of Earth-year 1588 in which 116 Human colonists living on Earth's Roanoke Island were trasported to Tetro by the Dramilian Federation. It is unclear whether these Humans left their homes willingly, since the details of the operation have been withheld by the Federation. Upon arrival on Tetro, the Humans were placed in an enclosure set up for them around several hundred square miles of land near the center of the region that became known as the Lost Colony. The Federation did not interact with the Humans, but secretly observed every aspect of their lives. Little is known about the fate of the original group of colonists, but it is suspected that after a period of observation, they were interrogated and subjected to medical experiments until their death by natural or unnatural causes. With information gained through study of this small Human society, the Federation began to genetically engineer the first generation of Humans created on Tetro. They were grown in artificial wombs and raised by Frelians until the age of 10 when they were released into the enclosure to fend for themselves, using the skills taught to them by their Frelian guardians. This process allowed the Dramilian Federation to influence the lifestyle and technology used by the Humans on their planet, while still allowing a unique culture to develop organically. Upon reaching child-rearing age, the Federation's scientists engineered a second generation of Humans which were raised by the first generation. The population continued to be grown in this way, until reaching its current size of 1 trillion.
