## History

### Colonization Period

Epsilon Imperatoris, originally called Voloran, was first colonized by a UN venture in 2114.

### UN Period

From 2114 to 23 July 2145, Voloran was nominally under UN control. The local government declared its independence on 23 July 2145 in response to the trade embargo with Bandorian and Asgardian systems that the UN ordered all its colonies to comply with.

### Independent Period

From 23 July 2145 to 8 January 2160, Voloran was independent; its local government applied to join the Bandorian Protectorate on 29 October 2160, and its application was accepted the next year.

### Bandorian Period

From 8 January 2160 until 1 April 2196 Voloran was under Bandorian control. It was the site of a major battle in the Second Interstellar War. On 1 April 2196 Voloran was one of the 24 former Bandorian systems that declared their allegiance to the new Emperor Lu Weng; it was renamed Epsilon Imperatoris at this time.

### Imperial Period

From 1 April 2196 until 10 June 3506 Epsilon Imperatoris was under the control of the Galactic Empire. The system's jump gate, an accelerator jump gate, was completed in 2435. It was the site of a major battle in the Perth War as well as a major battle towards the end of the Empire-Union War, in which Union forces eventually took control of the system on 10 June 3506. The Protectorate Navy did not attempt to retake the system after the end of the war, as there were a very large number of Union ships in the system's space at the time.

### Asgardian Period

After 10 June 3506, the Union occupiers carried out a series of purges among the system's population, with the intent to remove any Imperial loyalists or citizens who might try to start a rebellion. Over 50 million citizens in total were executed, with an additional nine million citizens deported to Tatov. Under Asgardian control, the system was the site of a major battle during the Twenty Years' War, with Bandorian troops landing on all three moons to carry out "demilitarization" operations to totally destroy the Asgardian military and military industrial complex elements there. In addition, one minor moon of Ligaruta with a joint Asgardian-UN military base was destroyed by the Bandorian Morana-class superlaser array located in the Darkstar system. Other than this battle, the system was mostly peaceful under Asgardian control.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Epsilon Imperatoris was one of the 24 core systems of the Galactic Empire before its fall. It is known for its horrible traffic congestion in the outbound queue for the jump gate. It is also the headquarters location of Macdona Shipyards, and the location of one of the Asgardian accelerator jump gates, which unfortunately increases this system's popularity as a connector system- a system with an accelerator or superaccelerator jump gate that is used to get to very remote systems quickly. In times of tension the Asgardian Alliance implements a policy by which all its accelerator and superaccelerator jump gate are closed to all ships that are not Asgardian. None of the other major or minor factions implement such a policy, but the Asgardian forces will not hesitate to fire on ships entering these systems during wartime unless they are Asgardian. However, this policy is tactically sound, and no sanctions have yet been imposed on the Alliance for this policy. Ligaruta is known for having very high winds and for raining diamonds.
