The Bolobo System Wars

During the period of covert mind control by the mentally unstable Artificial Intelligence "Sir Isaac Newton" (Zak) the neogen virtual incarnates The Fifth Men were wiped out by the aggressive Clan Slarian human/robot symbiote cyborgs. This genocidal act was apparently due to memetic tampering by the disturbed AI, as the Fifth Men were attempting to break free of Zak's mind control programming.

Following the Mind Liberation in 3531 there was a long period of stability, and the system was mostly unaffected by the Version War apart from the casualties suffered by the fanatical Clan Slarian and Greater Sapientchimp NoCoZo volunteer corps.

By 7041, the Greater Sapientchimps had developed their own SI:>1 Power, "Pan Demonium", and invaded the Bolobo planetoid itself under Freezone protocol, which under certain circumstances in Tier III societies allows Force Majeur as a proof of superior claim to territory. The sex-oriented, at that time pacifist, matriarchal Sapient-bonobo society was not prepared for war and would have been easy prey. However the AI "GoodAll", as the appointed NoCoZo Representative for the whole system, unleashed Her memetic power and deflected Demonium and His cohorts towards interstellar colonisation instead. By 8359 the Greater Sapientchimp colony Nike (Nekay) at 1.5 ly distance became a stepping stone to a colonial push via the Wormhole Nexus to the Centaurus Vector.

Greater Sapientchimps and Greater Superchimps have colonised thirty worlds so far in Outer Centaurus, and have developed a theocratic and warlike Alphaist religion, bringing them into sporadic conflict with the local 'Narchist explorers and Objectivist Commonwealth pioneers.
