The Survivors represented one of the two social groups within the Outbound Flight Colony, the other being the Colonists. This group consisted of the fifty-seven adult colonists who had been living when the Outbound Flight met its end in the Redoubt. By the year 22 ABY, their numbers had dwindled to only ten, with Chas Uliar, Brace Tarkosa, and Jobe Keely remaining as the only active members. The children who were alive at the time of the crash were excluded from being considered Survivors. The Charter ensured representation for both factions in the Managing Council.
