36 Planet X-37 Inhabitants

Today, as we continue to carry cargo between the Eldron ship and the planet surface, we managed to learn more about the kind of work that keepers have been doing on this planet for the last 7,000 years.

Although  planet X-37 could support life over a million years ago, the keepers were not ready to begin planting "human seeds" until about 7,000 years ago.

I did not manage to get many details about what exactly these so called "human seeds" are, but I was told that the planted seeds are directly responsible for  the formation of this civilization that we see living on the planet surface today.

At present, there are only 750,000 inhabitants living on X-37. Which is a relatively small global population, compared to some other worlds. Nevertheless, the humans here have organized themselves into three separate nations.

Finally, we learned that although the three nations in X-37 have had frequent disputes in the past, there hasn't been a full scale war between them in more than 2,000 years.

Keeper Rebbecca has been monitoring the development of humans here on planet X-37 for the last 650 years. She told us the historical embryo that we were bringing was scheduled to play a major role in the development of science and technology in all three nations for the next 100 years. But now that the embryo has been lost to the spoilers, these advances in science and technology will have to wait for another 500 years.

Tomorrow we will make the last two trips between the planet surface and the Eldron ship.
