Unfortunately this paradise was not to last, after the retirement of Koz as lead of IA the government began to wear away and Cybot was soon sold along with its sister faction Aratech, both were bought by the new faction alliance known as The Sons and Daughters of Freedom. The immediate time following the sale IA’s stability reached breaking point, and break it did, the government descended into anarchy and areas under its control were quickly seized by The 12 Colonies along with various ships and assets. Cybot Galactica offered amnesty to any IA members who wanted to take it but few did, many instead followed their old leader into the darkness of Bounty Hunters Guild.
