Being among the poorer fringe worlds beyond Sirius, the visible inequalities on Persephone made its population sympathetic to the complaints of the SMC. When locations on Gaia declared themselves autonomous, Persephone was quickly and non violently declared for the SMC. During the first year of the conflict however, splinter groups from within the planet began to instigate braver and more audacious attacks. In order to secure supply lines between their major strongholds, SMC operatives undertook an operation to cripple Trust's defenses around the wormhole to Persephone. The operation backfired, and in an unfortunate standoff, the wormhole was destroyed. It wouldn't be until after the end of the war 4 years later that Persephone would be reintegrated. While likely ultimately necessary, the refusal by SMC elite to allocate wartime resources to the reintegration of a dependent planet supportive of their cause would be despicable in the public eye for years to come. By the time Daedalus 13 was launched there was a very real fear that Persephone would be held by forces sympathetic to the Trust.
During its 9 years alone in space, citizens of the Kapteyn system
