-In an effort to provide a comprehensive guide to the history of the galaxy for the denizens of Dahaab, Indaol(-1,5), the late Luther Burgsvik began collating historical data from a variety of sources.  This is the latest version of the chronicles, which was first published back in 3241.  The intention of the chronicles was to educate some of the ignorant local schoolchildren of Indaol in the broad history of the galaxy.
+This is the latest version of the chronicles, which was first published back in 3241.  The intention of the chronicles was to educate some of the ignorant local schoolchildren of Indaol in the broad history of the galaxy.
 The chronicles are primarily about important political events, technological breakthroughs and space exploration, although some other less significant events are included.
