How to prevent Particle Trails from starting at origin?

Hi,

I have a Particle System on an Empty that does not emit, but has particles set by script using SetParticles. My particle system has the Trials module enables to draw trails. The issue I am facing is that the trails are drawn from the local origin to the first point in the trail. This is illustrated below; there is a single particle on a circular trajectory around the origin (marked by the sphere). I expect the red circle around the origin, but not the spoke pointing from the center to the circle.



Is there any way to prevent the Trails module from connecting the first point of the trajectory with the origin?

Thanks,
