Cerulean star system

The **Cerulean star system** is a pre-charted primary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Destroyed and depopulated by the Vonari in 2872 it remains on the frontline against the Vonari to this day. Cerulean has lost all stellar installations and nearly all colonies. The core system has been entirely abandoned and only the blacksite still holds on. What the Vonari didn't destroy the Insanity War did prior. It is a long way to rebuild Cerulean's former prosperity and it will likely never be a high-tech system again.

Mercenaries are best sought in the south inside of Onyx as most committed fighters are in the north stopping the Vonari or left after Cerulean got destroyed.

The only thing keeping hope in Cerulean alive is the extensive effort of the Federation to save humanity.

## Location

## History

### During Mercenaries

Cerulean is known for its beautiful blue starscapes and planets. Trade between the two planets in this system is popular for quick credits with a short trip. Cerulean is currently under Alliance control and does not generally charge docking fees for mercenaries. Strong markets with high demand for commodities along with a relatively high technology level provide several unique qualities in this region of Evochron. Scattered encoded communications have suggested there may be a hidden planet somewhere in this system with advanced technology far beyond what is offered in the charted part of the system. High radiation conditions have resulted in a strong biological research division that is frequently attacked by local rebel/guild groups interested in acquiring important medicine and technology. This system is also part of the frontline region of the war.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Moderate presence, primarily focuses on local production.
* Navy/Military - Moderate presence, protects bio-research interests.
* Rebels - Light presence, occasional reports of trade interference.
* Guilds/Clans - Light presence, often tries to steal biological resources.
* Miners - Light presence, owned by energy companies.

### Arvoch Alliance

Cerulean was the sight of a major defeat for the Joint Navy when Federal rebels told the Vonari of the enemy fleets trajectory and capabilities when they were about to shatter the Vonari fleet. The rebels were later brutally massacred by an Alliance OP and the Vonari ultimately defeated at a heavy cost.

### After the Insanity War

Despite the Alliance's brutal victory in the south against the former First Federation, the northwestern colonies joined with the remnants of the Federation to reform it. Paired with the Vonari assaults from the north and south the war to regain control of their former subject systems by the Alliance is spreading their forces thin. Cerulean got destroyed and near entirely depopulated during a surprise invasion in 2872 by the Vonari after which the Alliance abandoned Atlas to their fate.

Nowadays Cerulean is neutral and wishes to not be subject to any war. The few colonist still alive are descendents of the Renegades and hide in the backwater of the system. Considering the major investment of the Federation to stem the Vonari tide in the north, this neutrality may not last. If the Federation falls, so likely will Cerulean. Not to the Alliance, but the Vonari seeking to oust humanity from their region of the galaxy. Cerulean needs any help it can get, and a prolonged peace between Alliance and Federation would be for the best.

The Federation now monitors the secret entry passage of the Vonari into Cerulean and may one day lead its recolonization effort.

## Trade Routes

Cerulean is in shambles and has to be rebuild from the ground up. As such there is no reasonable trade route. The only colony is in jump caster range far in deep space, away from the dangers of Vonari and the Insanity War still lingering.
