Debacle

A Debacle is a catastrophic evolutionary failure. A debacle occurs usually when a species' technological, administrative, economic, and military prowess outpaces its ability to heal and reconnect, usually because an addicted Accumulating Class[1] cannot be made to release its control over The System. Debacle leads to devastating evolutionary setback.

Notes

A debacle is an End of Stage risk/occurrence. A debacle occurs when a species has developed advanced economic, political, technological, and military systems without healing and a concomitant reconnection. A debacle typically occurs because a disconnected species is being "held back" and consequently cannot unfold enough to handle the powers provided by advanced financial, technological, and administrative capacity.

A debacle is characterized by ecological, economic, social, political, and military spiral into self-destruction.

Debacles typically do not wipe out a species, but they can cause an inordinate amount of unnecessary suffering, and they can set a species back several decades or more. For this reason, an Intervention may be staged to facilitate Graduation.
