## History

### Colonization Period

Callian was originally colonized by the Asgardian Alliance in 3460.

### Asgardian Period

Callian was generally known as a lawless system under Asgardian rule, with the UEO having a large presence there almost from its initial colonization; a UEO front organization provided over half the funding for terraforming the system's inhabited moon and for constructing the jump gate, which was completed in 3492, while the moon's terraforming was completed in 3495. Gang wars were a part of the system's environment from its beginning days. During the Twenty Years' War, a massive UEO-controlled space station under construction in the outer regions of the system was destroyed by a Morana-class superlaser array firing from the New Kursk star system, and another superlaser array firing from the Mystic star system destroyed a small moon of Elbostran that was colonized by UEO forces who had a base there.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Callian is a major pirate haven, with an estimate of at least 5,000 UEO pirate squadrons hiding in the system. The local government sends military escorts for convoys with vital imports and exports, and clearly states that convoys not escorted by military ships are in extreme danger. Sometimes convoys not escorted by military ships get through, but usually only with at least 100 ships, and even then, sometimes these are also destroyed. Recently a convoy with 317 ships, including escorts with veteran pilots, was completely destroyed en route to Okslant from the jump gate. The government and system defense force do basically nothing to stop the pirates, as they are paid off considerably well by the UEO to allow the situation to continue. The convoys escorted by military ships provide the materials that Callian needs, and even send out some goods for export to fund the system. A recent anonymous survey showed that approximately 60% of the local population want to leave the system, and this is corroborated by traders who have landed on Okslant, who stated that people would swarm their ships trying to board them to gain passage out of the system. Riots are a commonplace occurrence on Okslant, and the local government sometimes uses UEO gangs as riot control to "keep order". Overall this system is dangerous, and to be avoided altogether unless you can join a large convoy, though even then you run a considerable risk.
