Vidiia was once a center of science and culture, but the Phage has left it as ravaged as it left the Vidiians themselves. As the Vidiians began to realize that nothing could stop the disease, and all Vidiians contracted its most virulent form, their society found itself plunged into a maelstrom. Vidiians reacted to the disease in many different ways, some heroic, but many not. Suicides rocked the world, while many plunged into the most abject despair. Others took the disease as a chance to reject all societal pressures, freeing them to do only as they pleased. Crime and violence exploded, leaving many parts of the planet unsafe. The same tragedies played out on many Vidiian worlds, but nowhere as intensely as it did on Vidiia itself.

The planet's industry plunged to near nonexistence, and destruction became a way of life for many who felt that the disease placed a death sentence on them. It took years for the world to stabilize, and by the time it did, it bore little resemblance to its old self. Many of its urban centers remain lightly inhabited, if anyone still lives there at all. The remaining population congregated around great medical centers in hopes for some kind of cure. Vidiian government became much more authoritarian and self-serving, sending out its forces to find a cure by any means necessary. With the planet's population gutted, and so many of its people seeking a remedy elsewhere, the wilds have begun reclaiming the great Vidiian cities.
