## History

### Colonization Period

Delos was originally colonized by the Asgardian Alliance in 3097. Terraforming of Chaphoter, Zatelara, and Siruturi was completed by 3140, and the system's jump gate was finished in 3147. The initial settlers consisted of 60,000 colonists split between the three moons.

### Asgardian Period

Other than a major battle and several strikes on military targets by the Morana-class superlasers during the Twenty Years' War, Delos was mostly peaceful under Asgardian control. The local government exercised greater decision-making power on the system compared to most other Asgardian systems.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Delos is remarkable for the fact that the Asgardian government was able to complete the project of terraforming three moons in this system to make them habitable. The fourth moon of Zienerth was not terraformed because it was smaller, and it did not appear to have as many natural resources as the other three moons, which were good sources of radioactive materials, iron, platinum, and some other materials. The climates of the three terraformed moons are somewhat variable, with some areas more hospitable than others. Chaphoter is generally considered the nicest moon of this system, as it has gentle terrain and a moderately more stable climate than the other moons. Zatelara has vast grassy plains, but its atmosphere is vulnerable to sudden weather systems; a location can go from clear skies to a downpour of rain in a few minutes. Siruturi is icy cold all year long in some areas, but other areas are deserts, although they are nowhere near as hot as the deserts on other moons or planets. This system is moderately more safe than other Asgardian systems, with only a few major areas where pirates hide often, and the police in this system are deployed on more effective patrol routes than in typical Asgardian systems. The governor of this system, Isanzas Mashqar, has less ties to the UEO than most other Asgardian public officials, and he has publicly condemned their cruel harassment of simple traders and ordinary citizens multiple times. This system is considered one of the most likely Asgardian systems to join the Bandorian Protectorate, as the governor has hinted several times at organizing a referendum on the question of leaving the Asgardian Alliance and has sent messages of gratitude to Bandorian bounty hunters on several occasions after they destroyed dangerous pirate squadrons in the system.
