Technical and Historical Notes

While Ronah family patriarch Meitzer Ronah was advocating his 'Cosmo Babylonia' principle to the people of space, his twisted son Carozzo had some other ideas in mind. He believed that humanity was a plague that needed to be eradicated, and his tool to accomplish this was the secretly developed weapon codenamed 'Bug'. The Bug's task was simple: enter a colony and kill the human population, but leave everything intact. To accomplish their task, the Bugs were armed with sharp high-speed scissors and could release smaller Child Bug weapons to fan out and hit more targets. In this manner the colonies could be cleared out for Carozzo's own twisted version of Cosmo Babylonia. The Bugs were sent in to the Frontier I colony in March UC 0123 and began to slaughter the civilian population. Carozzo had planned to send the Bugs to the Moon and Earth as well, but his plan was foiled by his daughter Berah Ronah and her friend Seabook Arno.
