## History

### Colonization Period

Ephetos was originally colonized by the Bandorian Protectorate in 3800, with an initial wave of 60,000 colonists.

### Bandorian Period

From the start, Ephetos' jump gate was planned to be an accelerator jump gate (allowing travel within 25,000 light-years), and it was planned to be a major site of naval shipbuilding. The jump gate was completed in 3844, and the first naval shipyard in the system, the Anchorage-class naval shipyard, was completed in 3860. Ephetos also became a major center of civilian shipbuilding, with many major starship manufacturers opening factories here. In addition to the Anchorage-class naval shipyard, a Torov-class naval shipyard, the absolute largest Bandorian naval shipyard, was planned for construction in Ephetos. It was completed in 4117. Ephetos was relatively peaceful under Bandorian control, which can largely be attributed to its system defense force, one of the largest and most professional SDFs in Bandorian space.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Ephetos is a center of Bandorian naval shipbuilding, with its massive Anchorage-class shipyard orbiting the star at 1.5 AU; the Anchorage-class shipyard in this system is nearly 25 kilometers in diameter. The Anchorage-class shipyard is the main Bandorian capital class naval shipyard, capable of building all but the very largest of capital ships. As a result of this, this system is extremely heavily defended by its enormous system defense force, large naval contingent, and a vast number of Bandorian citizens who unofficially defend and patrol the system against all intruders. The area around the shipyard is restricted space; you must either have a permit or be a member of the Santonian Order to enter it. The spaceports on the moons of Phiabos are renowned for their anti-ship flak batteries, further deterring pirates from coming to the system. There are rumors that the Bandorian government has agreed to allow the Renegades to use the outer regions of this system as a sanctuary, but these rumors have never been proven or disproven, and anyway, the Renegades are not usually criminals, despite the fact that they are generally treated as criminals by most factions. Trading in Ephetos is easy and can be very profitable if you have a permit to go to the naval shipyard; note also that Brock Industries, Spirit Shipyards, Mystic Drive Yards, New Severodvinsk Shipyards, and Bandoria Stardrive have factories in this system, so you can get ships from those companies in this system for a 10% discount price. Ephetos is one of the top 10 most important systems in the Protectorate.
