The Pallisican Migration refers to a significant movement of Pallisican and Bassarid inhabitants from Passas to the continent of Corum after the start of Operation Purple Splendor, Nouvelle Alexandrie's invasion of Passas, now called New Caputia. This mass departure, primarily by sea and air, resulted in significant loss of life.
Background
Migration
The majority of the Pallisican Migration population embarked on the perilous journey by sea or air. The distance between Passas and Corum was significant, and the conditions were often treacherous. Many attempted the journey in ships not suited for the long and hazardous voyage, while others trusted in air transport, despite the risks.
Maritime Migration
For those who chose to travel by sea, the journey was fraught with danger. It is estimated that 80% of the ships attempting to reach Corum sank, leading to a significant loss of life. Amongst the he reasons for the large number of shipwrecks are many, including poorly maintained or overloaded ships, dangerous sea conditions, and a lack of navigational knowledge or resources.
Ironically, many would be caught up the depredations of the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, who were known to abduct those refugees who might be useful as replacement crew members or offered the prospect of a ransom, whilst abandoning the remainder to their miserable fates.
Aerial Migration
Despite the risks, many Pallisican Migration also chose to migrate by air. Details of the challenges faced and the loss of life encountered during this form of migration are not well documented.
