-The [[beta_age|Beta Age]] was a time of transition, experimentation, and adaptation for ExoHuman society. Unlike the highly regulated funeral practices of the later [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]], the Beta Age had no universal standard for honoring the dead. Each settlement developed its own traditions, leading to diverse and, at times, conflicting burial practices across the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]] and the [[dark_side|Dark Side]].+The [[beta_age|Beta Age]] was a time of transition, experimentation, and adaptation for [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] society.

 The first ExoHuman deaths on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] occurred on [[day_zero|Day Zero]], the day of the crash landing of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], which resulted in the single largest loss of life in [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] history — 1,500 settlers perished in the disaster. Their bodies were consumed by fire, reduced to ash in the wreckage. While their remains could not be recovered, the settlers of the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]] organized a Day Zero Remembrance Ritual, burying a symbolic vessel of ashes into the soil of their new home world. The first ExoHuman deaths on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] occurred on [[day_zero|Day Zero]], the day of the crash landing of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], which resulted in the single largest loss of life in [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] history — 1,500 settlers perished in the disaster.
