Xteria

Xteria is a planet in the Orion Arm of the galaxy. It became a principle gathering place for the Icari'yon and is the unofficial cultural hub of the Icari'yon peoples.
== History ==
=== Colonisation ===
The first Xterian colonists called the planet Umica and spread across a continent within the first few decades of colonisation, establishing many scattered outposts. These early colonists had rediscovered some documents relating to the United States of America, a pre-Anthroperium nation on Earth. These documents formed the basic idea and inspiration for these colonists, who tried to emulate what they perceived as the American ideal. 
These colonists formed an agricultural republic and called it Unitas Umica and intended to be relatively insular. They did not reestablish contact with other colony fleets or try to reach Earth.
=== Second Wave ===
With the destruction of Earth in Icarus, many colony fleets were put in dire straits due to sever resource shortages. The world was first reached by the Ion, a colony fleet with several thousand people. The fleet was allowed to settle on the world on an uninhabited continent. Soon, the two peoples began to trade and communicate with one another and the world was opened to the other colony fleets. Within a generation, billions of people came to inhabit the planet, who began to call it Xteria as a derivation of "From Earth". The original colonists retained their identity as Unitas Umica. At right is the insignia of Unitas Umica.
Throughout the Age of Exploration, the world became an important trading post between the Second Dominion and the rest of the outbound colony fleets and the newly settled worlds, aggregating much wealth in the process. 
=== Last War ===
During the Last War, Umican scientists discover a Nexon in the form of a sword on their world. This sword is called the Ataru by the El'yon, and exerts a great and deep influence upon the world. It becomes an object of power around which many people rally. This Nexon has the unique property of becoming more powerful according to the belief of both it's wielder and the people who knows of it's existence. The influence of the sword eventually grows so great it turns the world into a Nexus world, and Xteria becomes a part of the Infinite Empire as a result.
