In C.Y. 10087, Captain Dylan Hunt and Rommie visited the leading council of the planet Arazia to ask if they would like to join the New Systems Commonwealth. However, even though Dylan and Rommie visited the planet peacefully, the planet Arazia had suffered during the long night and the council saw the pair of them as guilty for crimes committed in the power vacuum that occurred during the long night. They were arrested and sent to Helios IX, which was one of their secret prison planets. They were later found by the Andromeda by a "guess" from Trance.
