## History

### Colonization Period

Fatroka was one of the first AIS colonization projects, started in 3621. Its jump gate was completed in 3658, and in the 3675 census its population reached 1 million citizens. It was a high-priority colonization target because of the metal deposits on Tretezuno.

### AIS Period

Fatroka was mostly peaceful under AIS control, with no major battles taking place here. While its mining industry was developed slowly, it was still easily one of the top ten most important systems in the AIS for mining. Unfortunately, starting around 3900, crime became a major issue in Fatroka, with massive numbers of UEO members residing in the system. Additionally, the police would harass traders, shaking them down for money which the police would then pay the UEO in return for various favors. Smuggling of technically illegal goods became a huge business in Fatroka. Once the UEO started to decline in power around 4150-4200, the illegal activity in Fatroka was reduced.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Fatroka is a large system in terms of population, but otherwise it is fairly unimportant; the only major things that this system is notable for are a penal colony on Tretezuno and a major factory of UAP Shipyards in orbit around Drasatania. This system is a center of various smuggling activities; the revenue from the drug smuggling alone that takes place in this system is estimated at over 5 billion credits. This system is not very safe at all, with many pirate squadrons lurking alongside the main spacelanes just out of base scanner range, ready to jump incoming trading convoys. This means that you have to have a more powerful ship to arrive at your destination safely in this system. This system is not as dangerous as some systems such as New Cov, but you will still need a good ship such as a Centurion or Vadok to get through the pirate blockade. The system's star is slightly larger than the normal G or K class stars in inhabited systems. The typical star spectral class in a inhabited system (at least in usual human colonized systems) is F, G, K, or M, with rare occurrences of stars in higher and extremely rare occurrences of stars in lower spectral classes. This system is of moderate interest to researchers because of this. However, this is negated by the high level of criminal activities in this system; the government of this system is somewhat connected with the UEO, and they do not try to stop pirates and other criminals in this system. Tretezuno has large deposits of neutronium, gold, and titanium, making it a good center for mining. You can get good prices for mining equipment, compressed gases, and medicines in this system, although the police here are notably touchy about imports that aren’t drugs.
