## History

### Colonization Period

Claridia was originally colonized by the Asgardian Alliance in 2460. The colonization process went smoothly, with an initial wave of 15,000 colonists, who lived in space only for another 15 years while Uladus was terraformed.

### Asgardian Period

Claridia was controlled by the Asgardian Alliance from 2460 to 3528. Xogrilia's terraforming was completed in 2488, and Colia was terraformed completely by 2503. During its time under Asgardian control, the system population rose to a total of approximately 640 million citizens. It had a large industrial and manufacturing sector and a medium-sized but still impressive agricultural sector. Despite its industrial power, Claridia didn't focus very much on starship manufacturing, mainly using its industrial production for products that would be used by its surface citizens.

### Bandorian Period

On 24 September 3528, the last of the official Asgardian military forces in Claridia surrendered to the Protectorate, officially transferring the system to Protectorate control. Despite being outnumbered up to ten to one in some battles, the Protectorate Ground Forces had managed to take all three moons, one of the biggest victories in the Twenty Years' War. After the Protectorate took control of the system, its manufacturing and industrial sector was further expanded to include space-based industry and starship manufacturing, as well as later becoming a center of weapons manufacturing.

Claridia is a manufacturing powerhouse like most Bandorian systems, with major factories of New Severodvinsk Shipyards, Imperial Shipyards, Bandoria Stardrive, Seldar Industries, and UHW Shipyards. Claridia is the headquarters location of Kaslo Arms, a manufacturer specializing in drones and autonomous combat robots. It is also famous for being the site of a major battle in the Asgardian-Bandorian Twenty Years' War. At the time Claridia was a major Asgardian fleet staging center, and the newly formed Protectorate Fifth Fleet under Grand Admiral Benede Mzenga attempted to ambush five Asgardian naval squadrons that had gathered in the system; four of these squadrons had taken heavy casualties in battles in other systems and had fallen back to Claridia for repairs, while the fifth was deployed to protect the staging area. The Asgardian warships were the only major defensive force in the system at the time besides its system defense force, which was not notably large. The Bandorian forces managed to destroy almost all the Asgardian ships in a fleet battle over the course of several days, while no reinforcements came since the Bandorian strategists had planned a rapid offensive into multiple other Asgardian systems once the situation became known, as Claridia, while not a hugely important system on the level of Sol, Proxima, or Mystic, was still a good prize, and the Protectorate wanted to take the system. The Bandorian forces were ultimately successful, as many Asgardian ground forces surrendered after the defeat of the Asgardian space fleets in Claridia, and the Protectorate sent in three full corps of Disruptorguards (or 96,000 troops) to battle the remaining Asgardian ground forces, in addition to many other supporting regiments. This battle was a major contributing factor to the eventual defeat of the Asgardian Alliance in the war; before the war it had been generally seen as the most powerful faction at the time, but after the war the Protectorate and the AIS were almost even for power.
