History:
ca. 2266: Leaving behind a traditional history of
clan rivalries and violent feuding, Acamarians had
enjoyed peace for nearly a century in 2366. The
exception to the reconciliation were the Gatherers,
a segment of the population that split from the
more conservative Acamarians and refused to be a
part of the peace settlement and since then lived
offworld, as nomadic interstellar marauders, believed
to have been responsible for numerous raids on various
outposts and ships in the sector near Acamar III.
"The Vengeance Factor" [TNG]
2366: The Acamarian government, headed by Sovereign
Marouk, extended an offer of
reconciliation and repatriation for the estranged
renegade Gatherers. The negotions, mediated by
Jean-Luc Picard,took place at a gatherer camp on
the planet Gamma Hromi II. Picard was eventually
successful and the gatherers agreed to return home
the same year. The Acamarians and the Gatherers
were reunited after nearly a century.
