[quote='Jargal' pid='54299' dateline='1581330493']If you mean everyone died that would be pretty rare....however even pretty rare events can happen with enough numbers. Even if the chance of one system dying out (through war, blight or other) is one in a million each year there will be dozens of dying systems, thousands throughout history.
Hi!
I was going to say the same thing. Thousands of colonies have become depopulated for various reasons, mostly because of shifts in fashion or popular culture, but sometimes due to disasters of various kinds, or as the result of conflict. Any depopulated colony should be treated with caution, since some of these depopulations may have happened as the result of very well-hidden and subtle attacks using advanced weapons, including (but not limited to) memetic weapons.
