## History

### Colonization Period

Kolgamtar was first colonized by the Bandorian Protectorate in 2374.

### Bandorian Period

Kolgamtar was characterized by natural disasters and conflicts throughout its history; Shareth was often subject to earthquakes and tsunamis, and occasional solar flares also caused many problems with its infrastructure. During the Perth War there was a major battle here as well, in which the Perth sent a large fleet in space and also landed a massive invasion force on Shareth. Both the Perth forces and the Bandorian and Imperial forces fighting against them were nearly wiped out by a tsunami that affected the conflict zone.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Kolgamtar is an unstable system due to its constant earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters that take place on Shareth. Despite the issues with the system's only inhabited moon, it is still a fairly large population center in the Protectorate. The Protectorate Disaster Relief Forces were set up originally because of the issues in this system. In the system's spacelanes, it is mostly safe, with no major pirate activity. Major imports include medical supplies and building supplies, while its top exports include purified water and electronics modules. The system has factories of Brock Industries, Seldar Industries, New Severodvinsk Shipyards, Riredius Shipbuilding Co, Spirit Shipyards, Ceres Space, UHW Shipyards, and Military Grade Industries, and is also home to a local starship manufacturer, Glonass Stardrive, a subsidiary company of Mystic Drive Yards. An estimated 40% of the system's terrestrial population lives in areas designated as high risk due to active fault lines nearby, causing earthquakes and tsunamis to affect settlements in these regions. The problem is exacerbated by Shareth's small land surface area, with habitable land making up less than 15% of the moon's surface area. Though there are many mountain ranges on Shareth, they are often small strips of land rising rapidly from the water surface on one side then sharply going back down into the water on the other side, with very little habitable land area around them. Despite efforts to increase the system's space infrastructure so more people can live in space, Kolgamtar remains a relic of a time when populations were extremely affected by climate and natural disasters, an anachronistic bubble in the age of terraforming.
