## History

### Colonization Period

Madronis was first colonized by the Bandorian Protectorate in 2485. Its first jump gate was completed in 2564.

### Bandorian Period

Madronis was the site of a major battle during the Twenty Years' War, in which a force of 164 Asgardian and UN capital ships entered the system; all these ships were either destroyed, captured, or forced to retreat from the system. The battle is often considered one of the pivotal battles in the Twenty Years' War; it took place in March-October 3527. In 3849 construction began on a second jump gate, which was completed in 3870.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Madronis is a major military center of the Protectorate, with a total of two major naval shipyards (one Torov and one Ubiqtorate) and seven major naval bases, and 29 military bases on its sole inhabited moon. It is quite safe, with a massive system defense force, headed by the dreadnought *Imperial Freedom*, a dreadnought which was partially constructed by the Galactic Empire in the late 3400s and briefly abandoned before it was completed by the Protectorate Navy in 3527. The *Imperial Freedom* was used in the defense of Madronis during the Twenty Years' War, in a battle in 3527. Madronis is a major center of shipbuilding, both military and civilian, with factories of Bandoria Stardrive, Mystic Drive Yards, New Severodvinsk Shipyards, and Kordon Shipyards. Madronis is also known for being the site of the first, and so far only, Boreal-class space defense station, designed to destroy interstellar missiles entering the system's outer regions. The defense station orbits at 80 AU from the system's barycenter, and is equipped with 16 banks of intercept missiles and eight swiveling ultra-high-energy lasers. Nasharian is notable for its megacities, with ten cities having populations of over 50 million citizens. Most of the area outside of the cities is used for farming, although the soil is not very good for this purpose.
