## History

### Colonization Period

Delta Imperatoris, originally called Xultastan, was colonized by a UN venture in 2090, with an initial wave of 35,000 colonists. The colony was wracked with disasters, with over 20,000 colonists dying in the first 10 years.

### UN Period

From 23 June 2090 (when the first colonists arrived in the system) until 15 August 2145, Xultastan was controlled by the UN.

### Independent Period

Due to grievances with the UN authorities and contractors assigned to deliver supplies to the colony, who had been consistently failing to deliver supplies on time and in the amounts needed despite being paid, the colonists organized a local government and declared independence on 15 August 2145, in the aftermath of the First Interstellar War. The trade embargo that the UN placed on Bandorian and Asgardian systems at the end of the war caused the supply crisis to escalate to an unacceptable level. On 18 August 2145, the new local government applied to join the Bandorian Protectorate, which accepted its application on 20 August 2145.

### First Bandorian Period

From 20 August 2145 to 1 April 2196 the Xultastan system was controlled by the Bandorian Protectorate. During this time the system was mostly peaceful, though there were several minor battles in the system during the Second Interstellar War. It joined the Galactic Empire as one of its 24 core systems at the end of the war.

### Imperial Period

From 1 April 2196 until 16 June 3506 the Delta Imperatoris system was controlled by the Galactic Empire. It escaped the Perth War unscathed, but there were three separate engagements in the system during the Empire-Union War. In the first and second of these battles, the system defense forces and Imperial naval forces stationed in the system suffered heavy losses, but in the third battle, the Imperials, reinforced by Bandorian ships, were able to repel the Union forces. At the end of the war the Protectorate sent a force of 56 capital ships to the system to avoid it potentially being taken by the Union. This strategy paid off, as the Union did not attempt to capture Delta Imperatoris again.

### Second Bandorian Period

From 16 June 3506, the Bandorian Protectorate controlled Delta Imperatoris. The system's industrial facilities were massively increased, and it also became a major hub of asteroid mining. Overall it was mostly peaceful under the Protectorate in this time.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Delta Imperatoris was one of the 24 core systems of the Galactic Empire before its fall. It was taken over by the Bandorian Protectorate, which rushed forces into the system in such numbers that the Asgardian Alliance made no attempt to take the system, knowing that they would have simply lost a task force in the attempt. Delta Imperatoris has a star that is slightly larger than the Sun in the Sol system, so the habitable zone is slightly larger and farther from the star. This system has major factories of Brock Industries, Seldar Industries, Military Grade Industries, Ceres Space, and New Severodvinsk Shipyards. There is also an asteroid belt in the system, orbiting between 4.0 and 6.5 AU from the star; many of the asteroids are claimed by the IMG, so an IMG membership is a good idea in this system.
