## History

### Pre-Titanian contact

Before the Trans-Galactic War, Mona IV was uninhabited, and its system was under no jurisdiction. During the war, Mona IV continued to be uninhabited, but started to build up high amounts of ambient magical energy, especially due to its Ultra Star sun.

### Titanian contact

After an invasion from the Titan Regime was fought off, the New Titanian Empire chose to colonize the world. To control its wildlife and potential to serve as a bridge for malevolent beings into the realspace 3rd Dimension, the New Titanian Empire converted Mona IV into a terracity and refinery for Uux, also converting Mona into a Celestial Forge.
