The history of mankind is littered with pain and despair, revolving around wooden items made from a specific, ancient tree. Every time someone acquires something made from that wood, they are found dead some time later. The only known survivor of such an incident was one Richard Garriot, who went on to form a niche cult based around pain. The latest item made from the wood is small, carved figurine.
Please explain this.

I think he's leaving it open for others to make the details.

In case anyone is wondering, the mechanists' culture also involves copious amounts of drug abuse.

The machinists are not in the solar system, I'm afraid. Komenrisoh is in an entirely different system quite a few AU away, that's why it took them centuries to get there. They are now going back, but with FTL.

Just like Star Wars.

Bugger. In all fairness though, you made it rather difficult to read with the one-big paragraph of DOOM. It may be of some help if you break it up a bit.

Yeah, I'll try to fix it now.

EDIT: Is it better now?

Aslo, birdy, the mechanist society is based around extreme brainwashing, heavy indoctrination and suppression of identity (think Borg-lite). We need to figure out how this separatist faction came to be, as all mechanist teenagers are always heavily drugged to make them more obedient.
