## History

### Colonization Period

Eta Imperatoris, originally called Charuso, was first colonized by a Bandorian colonization group in 2090.

### First Bandorian Period

From 2090 to 1 April 2196, Charuso was under Bandorian control. It was the site of a massive fleet action towards the end of the Second Interstellar War, in which Bandorian, and later Imperial, forces fought against a huge fleet of 150 Asgardian capital ships. It was one of the 24 systems that declared their allegiance to Lu Weng at the time of the formation of the Galactic Empire, and its name was changed to Eta Imperatoris.

### Imperial Period

From 1 April 2196 to 16 June 3506 Eta Imperatoris was under the control of the Galactic Empire. It became a major population center, and a major industrial hub for the Empire. It was mostly peaceful under Imperial control, until the Empire-Union War, when it was the site of two major battles, including one at the end of the war in which Bandorian, Imperial, and UHW forces fought together to hold the system and keep it from falling into Union hands. Ultimately, the defending coalition was successful, and after Tai's last command, the system reverted to Bandorian control.

### Second Bandorian Period

From 16 June 3506 Eta Imperatoris was once again under Bandorian control. It was mostly peaceful during this period, with no major conflicts taking place here. In 3605 a Santonian base was constructed in the system. In 3984 a Duskhan space station was constructed in the same orbit as the system's jump gate; several other Duskhan space stations were constructed later.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Eta Imperatoris is a major Bandorian population center, located just under 15 light-years from Sol, and was one of the first systems to be colonized. It was also one of the 24 core systems of the Galactic Empire before its fall. It was taken by Bandorian and Imperial forces after an intense battle with Asgardian forces sent to take the system. The system is quite safe, although it has a very long average wait time at the outbound traffic queue for the jump gate. A proposed second jump gate is now under construction planning; it is expected to be finished in 4030, and would be an accelerator jump gate, allowing travel to any system within 25,000 light-years of this system. Eta Imperatoris is home to major factories of Mystic Drive Yards, New Severodvinsk Shipyards, and Bandoria Stardrive. Many armor and weapons manufacturers are based in this system, and both the Duskhan League and Santonian Order have a presence here, with multiple bases owned by each organization in this system. Many Protectorate Supreme Leaders have come from this system, as well as many of the best Bandorian tacticians.
