The colonists of the Trio are all followers of the New Faith, a religious belief which seems numbingly complex to outsiders. However, they are usually open and friendly toward any visitors to their colonies, so long as those visitors respect their religious beliefs and laws. Each of the colonies is organised into a number of collectives, each of which shares labour, rewards and possessions equally among its members.
History
Once the three colonies of the Trio were established, the Federation and SICON mostly stayed away. Fleet gave only passing protection to the colonies and there was little interaction with them except for cargo runs that swing past the planets every other month.
Once the people of New Faith had divided themselves up among the three worlds, they set to work with a purpose at making these planets their own. Even with little help from the Federation, they quickly tamed the alien landscapes, turning their worlds into booming agricultural centres almost overnight.
The situation seemed destined to remain exactly that way until the Skinnies began to raid the colonies of the Trio and SICON arrived in force to protect the colonies, even the unoffi cial colonies out beyond Federation space that had been hit hardest and most often by the Skinnies.
As a part of Operation; Clean Sweep, there has been a massive buildup of SICON forces in the Trio, ready to move against the Skinnies when the command comes. This is not very popular with the New Faith colonists but they remain loyal to the Federation and certainly prefer SICON to the Skinnies.
