Miranda was home to an Alliance colony. The Alliance experimented on the population to find a way to make people more controllable. However the experiments failed: 99.9% of the population became so passive that they essentially lost the will to live. The opposite effect was observed in the remaining .1% of the population, who became extremely aggressive and butchered the Alliance scientists in charge of the experiments. This tenth of a percent of the population escaped to become the Reavers. The Alliance tried to cover up what had happened on the planet by creating a story that the colony was lost due to failure of enviromental changes caused by the failure of the terraforming to take hold.
