Like all the other [[Sycorax]] tribes, the Halvinor Tribe fought for the few natural [[resource]]s available under the surface of the inhospitable asteroid [[Sycorax (planet)|Sycorax]], whilst worshipping the goddess [[Astrophia]], the shamans carrying out [[rite]]s of [[blood]] and [[sacrifice]] to try to implore her to give them favour over the other tribes.

After [[century|centuries]] of conflict, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sycorax (reference book)|namedpart=History of the Sycorax|page=10-13}}) also many centuries before the [[21st century]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Visual Dictionary (reference book)|ed=2010 reprint|page=82}}) the Halvinor were the tribe to discover [[spaceship (The Sycorax)|the spaceship]] that had crashed on the asteroid's surface, enslaving [[species (The Sycorax)|the survivors]] and forcing them to teach them how to use their [[technology]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sycorax (reference book)|namedpart=History of the Sycorax|page=10-13}}) giving them the "[[secret]]s of [[interstellar]] craft". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=3|chaptname=Everything Changes|page=78}}) The Halvinors' actions threatened to bring [[civil war|war]] between the tribes, as many resented and feared their discovery, but the [[Sycorax shaman (The Sycorax)|Halvinor shaman]] persuaded them to unite and exploit the newly discovered universe.

Now united, the tribes developed the technology to enable the asteroid to be pilot from [[world]] to world, plundering and enslaving the natives. However, after several generations, the [[mechanism]] responsible for controlling the [[travel system]]s failed, leaving the asteroid in the orbit of a [[planet]] in the edges of the [[solar system]]. Refusing to regress, the tribes split the asteroid into [[Sycorax Armada|an armada]] of smaller asteroids, each fitted with enough technology to enable travel possible, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sycorax (reference book)|namedpart= | Now united, the tribes developed the technology to enable the asteroid to be pilot from [[world]] to world, plundering and enslaving the natives.
