Alanik lived on [[ReDawn]], a "backwater" planet that was not part of the [[Superiority]].{{book ref|sky2|8}} Her people, the [[UrDail]], had allied with humans in the last [[Human wars|Human war]] and were heavily influenced by human culture.{{book ref|sky2|8}} Although some UrDail claimed that the humans forcibly occupied their planet, Alanik believed that this was propaganda and that humans were not dangerous compared to the oppression of the Superiority.{{book ref|sky2|8}} Because the Superiority had confined humans to "preserves" such as [[Detritus]], Alanik was not even sure that they still existed, but continually tried reaching out with her cytonic abilities hoping to contact one of them.{{book ref|sky2|8}}
