## History

### Colonization Period

This system was first colonized in 2120, and was rapidly terraformed. It was originally called Lumoth.

### First Bandorian Period

This system joined the Bandorian Protectorate in 2125. Its most notable inhabitant of this period was Lu Weng, the Bandorian Grand Admiral who would later become the founder and first Emperor of the Galactic Empire. He was born in 2137 on Beta Imperatoris 2.

#### Imperial Period

Lumoth became Beta Imperatoris, one of the 24 core systems of the Galactic Empire; it was the second system to declare its allegiance to Lu Weng. It became a fairly important Imperial system, with many naval ships stationed there; the Empire also had built several naval shipyards in the system. In 2350, the first jump gate was completed in the system. In the Empire-Union War, Beta Imperatoris served as a staging center for the Bandorian and Imperial fleets. The first major battle in this system was between an Asgardian carrier group and several Imperial cruisers and fighter squadrons; the Asgardian carrier, 17 of its fighters and bombers, and 3 of its support destroyers were destroyed by the Imperial forces. During the fall of the Empire a total of 413 Imperial ships and 1582 Bandorian ships were deployed to hold the system against the attacking Asgardian and UN forces. The Asgardian forces were eventually forced to retreat, losing a total of 738 ships, including 109 capital ships, while the Bandorian and Imperial fleets lost 406 ships, including 51 capital ships.

### Second Bandorian Period

On 15 June 3506 the Galactic Empire was defeated, ending the Empire-Union War. The Protectorate took control of Beta Imperatoris after the invading Asgardian forces had been driven from the system. In 3617 the second jump gate was completed in the system.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Beta Imperatoris was one of the 24 core systems of the Galactic Empire before its fall. Due to its close proximity to both major Bandorian and Asgardian systems, it was fiercely contested for months after the death of the Emperor during the disastrous Third Battle of Alpha Imperatoris (Mystic). Remnants of the Imperial Navy, along with huge numbers of Bandorian ships, held this system for the Protectorate, managing to fend off the Asgardian attackers and inflict punishing losses on them that would weaken the Alliance as a whole. Despite their skill at missile warfare, the Asgardian tacticians could not compensate for the sheer weight of numbers and the swarms of well-armed fighters that the Protectorate and Imperial forces deployed in every battle.
