no. it happened during the third Human-Plod
nik War. the humans of the 25th century went into the far past, where they aimed a massive molecular disintegrator at the Plodnik stronghold from orbit, tearing a gash into the countryside. this also put an end to the Plodnik which had been occupying that part of the planet. the humans were then able to move in and repossess the land.
unfortunately, most of the surrounding area was made a desert. a good water supply's been a problem ever since. but hey, at least they got rid of the Plodniks.
