Samson System

The Samson System was a star system in the People's Republic of Haven.
Home to the nominally independent Samson System Republic, its proximity to Trevor's Star and other PRH systems led to it accepting "associated" status with the PRH around the time of the Havenite conquest of Trevor's Star.
In 1906 PD, while it was the site of a People's Navy support base in orbit of its fourth planet, it was not considered a vital strategic objective by the Royal Manticoran Navy. It was attacked in August of that year however as it was one of the perimeter bases established around Trevor's Star by the PRHThe Manticoran's objective being to deny the Havenites operational depth and forcing them to reinforce their satellite bases rather than seeing more of them eliminated by the Manticorans. More than likely it was the Manticorans' hope that the reinforcements would be diverted from nearby Trevor's Star, weakening the defenses in that system.. (,)
It was one of the systems that President Pritchart initially offered to cede on a permanent basis. ()
