## History

### Colonization Period

Gamma Imperatoris, originally named Zantor, was first colonized by a UN colonization project on 14 April 2104.

### UN Period

From 14 April 2104 until 19 July 2145 the Zantor system was under UN control. The UN lost considerable power in the system after the First War of Sol, and during the First Interstellar War the citizens started an independence movement. On 19 July 2145, the local authorities declared the system to be independent, in order to bypass the UN trade embargo on Bandorian and Asgardian systems.

### Independent Period

From 19 July 2145 until 25 October 2160, Zantor was an independent system. It was mostly peaceful during this time, with no major conflicts, although the local government began building up its navy. On 25 October 2160, following a referendum, the Zantor system joined the Bandorian Protectorate.

### First Bandorian Period

From 25 October 2160 until 1 April 2196, the Zantor system was under the control of the Bandorian Protectorate. During this time, it was the site of a major battle between Bandorian and Union forces during the Second Interstellar War. The battle took place in space and on Kubaturn from 23 March 2189 until 19 December 2189, and ended with the retreat of all Union forces from the system. The system's jump gate was completed on 11 March 2164.

### Imperial Period

From 1 April 2196 until 7 April 3504, Zantor, renamed Gamma Imperatoris by Lu Weng, was under the control of the Galactic Empire. It was one of the 24 core systems of the Empire, the first systems to declare their allegiance to Lu Weng after he declared himself the leader of the Galactic Empire, explaining it as a new faction that would reforge the territories formerly under Protectorate leadership. Gamma Imperatoris was mostly peaceful under Imperial control, until the Empire-Union War. On 7 April 3504 Gamma Imperatoris was captured by Union forces, in a battle which was often claimed as one of the turning point battles of the war. The Imperial and Bandorian defenders of the system lost 218 capital ships and 1,794 subcapital ships in space, and over 290,000 troops in the planetary warfare part of the battle.

### Asgardian Period

From 7 April 3504 to 19 July 3523 Gamma Imperatoris was under Asgardian control. Nominally, it was under the control of the United Nations as well, but the UN didn't send many forces to the system. The Asgardian occupiers carried out several purges of "rebels", resulting in over four million dead civilians. It is estimated that additionally, over one million civilians from Kubaturn were among the 40 million political prisoners deported to Tatov from various former Imperial and Bandorian systems during this time. During the Twenty Years' War, from 30 November 3522 to 19 July 3523, there was a battle between Bandorian forces and Union forces in this system, in which the Bandorian forces were victorious. The complete liberation of Kubaturn was announced on 16 July 3523, and on 19 July the remaining Union ships retreated from the system.

### Second Bandorian Period

From 19 July 3523, Gamma Imperatoris was under the control of the Protectorate once more. During this time it was mostly peaceful, with major developments in local industry and slight population growth. On 6 January 3557, an upgrade of the system's jump gate to an accelerator jump gate was completed.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Gamma Imperatoris was one of the 24 core systems of the Galactic Empire before its fall. After a brief, but brutal period of Asgardian occupation, the system was retaken by the Bandorian Protectorate during the Twenty Years' War. This system has major factories of Albedo Shipyards Inc, New Severodvinsk Shipyards, Seldar Industries, and UHW Shipyards. It is also an important system because of its naval bases and its accelerator jump gate, which allows interstellar traffic over long distances from this system. A weapons research facility is in this system, orbiting Gamma Imperatoris 1, and it is heavily guarded against UEO spying, with several Magomedov-class battlecruisers and a Shvetsov-class fleet carrier guarding it.
