In 2491, Doctor Elias Carver published a series of findings regarding the possibility of insurrection in the outer colonies. He summarized his findings with the following statement:
"Unless the political situation throughout the colonies is stabilized (preferably by force), the Government will collapse and civil war will rip human society apart."
The findings, while not taken seriously at the time, were a prescient warning about the insurrection that spawned only a few years later. Doctor Catherine Halsey considered Carver's work somewhat prophetic, though she believed his conclusions needed additional refining.
