Mera

The Mera system is the gravitationally-bound system of planets, asteroids and celestial objects orbiting the G-Type main sequence star Mera. Of its eight planets, three are currently inhabited by permanent human populations, with the moons Nemty, Sachmis and Anat hosting non-permanent worker populations in corporate employ.
The Mera System also sports a primarily rock and metal-based asteroid belt between Djehuty and Themis, which is host to extensive mining operations and the CFA military facility Magnolia Station. Beyond Gjoll is the Outer Belt, a layer of space debris primarily composed of ice and leftover material from the system's formation.
Mera was colonized in 2216 by immigrants from the Hathor and Sol systems, part of an initiative to reduce rampant overpopulation on Hyperion and Earth respectively. While the initiative failed to meet expectations and goals, Mera's colonization established an integral location for resource exploitation, xenobiology studies, and overall Coalition reach into the southwestern quadrant. Mera has maintained a continually low population in comparison to the nearby core systems, albeit with steady growth thanks to an ongoing influx of scientific and material labor.
The Mera System's 2651 revolt against ongoing corporate encroachment and liberalization in regards to synth rights, upon which Mera was dependent in multiple fields, culminated in the signing of the Cornerstone Constitution and the formation of the Confederated Republic of Mera. The subsequent Meran War would last from 2651 to 2660, ending with the expulsion of Confederate civil government from the system and the subsequent Meran Cold War, a series of low-intensity conflicts across the planets Maat, Anput and Djehuty. The ongoing Operation Victory's Trident has ended this period, resulting in a resumption of peer conflict system-wide against Confederate remnant forces.
