Bacchulis System

The **Bacchulis System** is a star sytem centered around the orange dwarf star **RS-8513-2265-7-142547-1633** (coloquially referred to as **Bacchsolis** by the residents of the system) and is located roughly in the center of the Nequedes star cluster. Formerly the seat of power for the Duxate of Bacchulis and its accompanying revolt against the Abzuan Empire, the system has since been lost to the movements of the walls and storms which made the system as compelling a position to colonize and secure as it had been.

During the system's history, colonists had given local names to many of the more significant planetary objects in the system, whether within local legend or cultural concretions. For example, the planet Bacchulis 5 was quickly renamed as "Senmach" upon the completion of its terraforming under the family of bankers which had funded the endeavor, and its moons were renamed after influential members of its colonization efforts. Foreign traders often noted the difficulty with which their ships traversed the outer system's planets, most especially within the range of the many moons of Bacchulis 8, otherwise known as Maumahina. While other planets within the region held similar issues with shipping, especially given the precarious location of the system, none held the reputation for the gambit of circumnavigating the gravity wells of some of the moons in order to reach the mining operations located on some of the colonies.

## History

While no longer able to provide information directly from the system, many documents and archives describe the long history of the Bacchulis system and its inhabitants until their disappearance in the wake of the Bacchulite Revolt.

The system was first discovered by the Early Abzuan Empire within the first 100 years of the *Mandatum Galaxium'* and was soon chosen to be terraformed as a regional base of operations for trader and missionaries working within the Nequedes cluster. The third planet from the star was originally seeded with life from Mayarn and Lessoan biospheres due to the abundance in oxygen in its atmosphere, believing that such a mixture of life would flourish within the newly-terraformed landscape. Such beliefs were correct, and the planet was successfully colonized only a millennium after its discovery. The first colony of the planet was **St. Aesonius's Retreat**, a minor settlement and the first Lessoan monastery within the Nequedes cluster. It was documented to be the site of a noteworthy reliquary said to hold tainted artifacts of the war against the Telranite menace, protecting the denizens of the greater galaxy from what they held.

From its humble beginnings, the soon-christened planet of Bacchulis *(earning its name from the patronage of the Emperor which oversaw its colonization)* would quickly flourish into a myriad of settling parties and societies that quickly homogenized into a single planetary state under the rule of an Abzu-appointed Dux of Nequedes. The Duxate was a somewhat hastily-formed territory, as the region was experiencing more colonization efforts than expected and the Imperial throne wished to create firm astrographic boundaries before inevitable border-conflicts erupted over disputed territory.

Despite imperial decree, it would quickly become apparent to the nobility of Bacchulis that uncontested dominion over all of their cluster, as divided and unstable as it had been even in the ancient Empire, was a logistical impossibility. They were only able to maintain a few stable routes across fewer systems which they were able to hold, with independent polities such as the pilgrim settlements of Folyam and spacers or minor terrestrial civilizations within neighboring systems able to remain unbound by Imperial rule, though commonly traded for Bacchulite goods in return for raw resources or hired enforcers.

This influx of spacer and non-Imperial communication would eventually include Khet expeditionaries and scouting parties by the Late Imperial Era, which began to infiltrate the region and would later be responsible for enabling the Bacchulite Revolt, a destructive rebellion in which the forces of the Bacchulite Dux would begin to attack other neighboring factions alongside their alien allies. They would be subsequently defeated by Imperial forces and forced back to Bacchulis, where it is believed their forces mustered the bulk of their vessels and armies for a final stand at the edges of the system. However, it is unknown if this is the case, as the Abzuan flotilla sent to suppress the rebels found that the lanes to the Bacchulis had been suddenly enveloped by the shifting of several etheric walls, and that the system had been cut off from all conventional methods of travel and communication.
