## Major Orbiting Objects

### Thios

Thios is the first orbiting planet of the Teegarden System, and a resource rich planet. Thios is incredibly similar to Earth thanks to terraforming efforts that lasted from 2043 to 2067. Thios is the capitol world for the Teegardian People's Government. Thios is a well known tourist destination due to it's vibrant native plant and wildlife. Due to the delicacy of the ecosystems on Thios, the Teegardian People's Government have placed heavy restrictions and mandate cleaning on the hulls of ships before entering the planet's atmosphere, to prevent contamination from other world organisms. The planet was partially glassed during The First Solar War, which turned the original white sand into black pebbled sand.

#### Native Life

* The alloth is a small feathered avian creature roughly 15 cm in wingspan. These creatures fly in flocks of 20 to 30 alloths. The alloth is covered in water resistant feathers, and adapted to semi aquatic environments. It is often to see flocks of alloths diving into the waters.

* The canibridu are a dangerous super predator with cannibalistic as well as predatory instincts. canibriduns live alone except during mating season, which occurs every few thousand rotations. During mating season, the female eats the smaller male after mating. If the born pups are deemed by the mother as "too weak to survive" it will be eaten by the mother. canibridu are large black feathered felines roughly 2.75 meters long.

* The ferite are small herbivorous feathered marsupials that range in lengths of around 65 cm. ferites are incredible tree dwellers, and spend most of their time in high places. ferites have a colorful plumage to mimic the floral in the treetops. Ferites are also very social, making ferites a favorite pet among the Teegardenians.

* The gameon Tree is the most common tree in Thios, reaching heights of around 14 meters, and branches of around 8 meters in length. gameon trees have multicolored flowers along its branches. gameon trees are one of the keystone species of Thios, due to the shelter and food it provides.

#### Military Bases

##### Hera

Hera is the only military base on Thios owned and maintained by the Teegardian People's Government, with 250,000 personnel stationed at Hera Base, the base acts as the Naval and Marine yard and training facility. Hera base was rebuilt in 2122 after being completely wiped out during the First Solar War. Hera Base has the capacity to hold and maintain 35 ships, and 12,250 small craft

##### Alpha Thios

Alpha Thios is a small naval yard for the Blue Star Federation Navy, with the capacity to hold 22 ships and 5,000 small craft. Alpha Thios is the only naval yard in the Teegarden System owned and maintained by the Blue Star Federation Navy. The naval yard stations 90,000 personnel.

##### Beta Thios

Beta Thios is a small military base located off of the Strait of Ganji, and is owned and managed by the Blue Star Federation Armed Forces. The military base stations 65,000 personnel with storage of around 11,000 vehicles.

##### Thios Orbital Defense Station

The Thios Orbital Defense Station is a large space platform of the ODS (Orbital Defense Station). This station orbits the planet at a rate of 4 rotations per rotation. The original station was destroyed during the Fall of Thios during the First Solar War, but was rebuilt to an ODS Mark II. This station operates as a massive defense platform, with 5,000 personnel, and 750 spacecraft.

### Lanulia

Lanulia may be a desert planet, but temperatures can average at far below freezing. It is so cold on Lanulia, that special housing and equipment is needed to preserve heat as efficiently as possible. Despite it's harsh environment, a diverse plant life in the form of lichen and fungi flourish along the planets surface. This is due to snowfall being restricted to only the planet's poles. Lanulia, despite a harsh enviroment, sustains a cash crop as one of it's main sources of economic value.

#### Native Life

* The salamooste is a large brown colored lizard roughly 2.25 meters in length, and is known to be exceptionally agile and strong. It is not uncommon to see salamoosters quickly climbing the sand dunes of Lanulia. Salamoosters are a herbivorous species, relying on the dichen fungus as its main source of food.

* The dichen fungus is an edible fungus most notably used as a cash crop by the Teegardians. the fungus is a dull brown with large stocks that once ripe, open up to the edible spores, which are a bright yellow. Dichin fungus are used in a variety of Teegardian dishes, including the dichaloi, a dish served in dichen rice, salamooste meat, and mashnin sauce.

#### Military Bases

##### Queen's Dunes Center for National Defense

The Queen's Dunes Center for National Defense, also known as Queen's Dunes Command Center, is a large intelligence base under the command of high officials and officers of the Teegardian National Defense and the Blue Star Federation Armed Forces. This base is a massive cooperative base consisting of 165,000 Blue Star Federation personnel and 135,000 Teegardian National Defense personnel. Queen's Dunes is also a research facility, well known for developing the Rayan-225 Interplanetary Missile. Queen's Dunes was nearly obliterated in the Battle of Kalopis during the First Solar War, but was rebuilt after the Blockade of Teegarden’s Star.

##### Pursue Due

Pursue Due is a naval yard and military base for the Teegardian National Defense. With 187,000 personnel stationed, 10 ship dockspace, and 12,500 vehicles and spacecraft. Pursue Due is entirely underground, with large blast doors that open and close to the hangers.

## Government

The Teegardian People's Government is a democratic republic, where each representative is a representative by the city they reside in. The Teegardian People's Government Senate holds 77 seats, the judicial court holds 7 seats, and 1 minister. Senate elections are held every 6 years, and minister elections are elected every 8 years. The Teegardian Peoples's Government relies on a more authoritarian ruling, with government control and restrictions on the people in ways to protect them.

## Military

The Teegardian National Defense is a large coalition army of around 9,435,000 personnel. 2,400,000 personnel reside in the Teegardian National Defense Naval Fleet (TNDNF), 7,030,000 personnel reside in the Teegardian National Defense Mariners (TNDM), and 5,000 personnel reside in the Teegardian National Defense Special Forces (TNDSF). The Teegardian National Defense has a fleet of 112 ships, 22,000 small craft, and 19,300 vehicles. The Teegardian National Defense Special Forces (TNDSF) are one of the most highly recognized and known special forces, due to their outstanding performance and extremely harsh and difficult training. Training takes almost 2 years and involves pushing one to the limits of any environment, including space. The TNDSF have also been trained to never being captured, by any means necessary.

## Culture

The people of the Teegarden System (sing: Teegardian / plur: Teegardians) are a notably proud people, holding many small local festivals every 5 Teegardian years for each planet. These local Festivals often are a showcase of new food dishes and cuisine creatively made from the local foods in the Teegarden system. These small local festivals are known as the Kite festival, and is a popular event for tourism and locals. Teegardians also have a strict mindset in the conservation and preservation of planets, promoting nature over industrialization. In many cases, huge factories are built underground below forests to prevent the destruction of the natural beauty of the planets.

## Involvement in The First Solar War

### The Battle of Kalopis

The Battle of Kalopis was a large scale battle in The First Solar War at the planet of Lanulia by the Blue Star Federation Armed Forces, against the Republic of Pheonix Military. The 32 day battle lasted from 11 July until 13 August 2117. The purpose of the battle of Kalopis was a continuation of the Republic of Phoenix's Operation Firecracker, the invasion plan to system hop to strangle the capital system of the Sol System.

#### Summary of Battle

On the 11 July, 2117 at 0320 standard time, the Republic of Phoenix Military's 18th Naval Armada, along with the infamous Task Force 9, warped to the planet of Lanulia, near the city of Kalopis. The immediate naval warfare caused the Teegardian National Defense to pull all of it's naval resources out of Thios to reinforce the defense of Lanulia, which was a huge strategic mistake. This massive error caused the almost the entire TND Defense Fleet to be completely destroyed in the following 9 day naval battle. By the 20 July, 0540 standard time, Admiral William Trench gave the order for the invasion section of the fleet to descend to begin phase two of the invasion of Lanulia. Fighting was harsh, particularly in the urban areas and cities. On the 24 July, all civilians were addressed with two choices: stay and fight, or to head to the city of Cleapatri for evacuation offworld. it is estimated that 129 million civilians stayed, and several million were killed in action throughout the remainder of the campaign. On the 29 July, a 2 day ceasefire was agreed upon to allow the civilian refugees to board transports and flee the system. Fighting began again on the 1 August. The final days of the battle concluded when the remaining BSF and TND forces either surrendered, fled into hiding to be part of the many rebel cells during occupation, or evacuated. On the 12 August, Admiral William Trench was assassinated in his own capital ship RoP *The Dread Hunter* after Teegardian Special Forces Team Alpha 13 boarded and sabatoged the ship. The 20 troop team committed mass suicide after all escape ways were cut off, detonating the capitol ship's engine core, and causing the entire destruction of the ship by a massive implosion and explosion. The explosion was so massive it severely damaged ships that were close to the capital ship. By the 13 of August, 2117, Lanulia was officially under the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix, and under the new command of Admiral Shakira Pevochik.

### The Fall of Thios

The Fall of Thios was the notable final stand for the Teegardian National Defense and the Blue Star Federation in the Teegarden System until retaking of the system during The Great Solar War. The final stand took place at the planet of Thios, with the Blue Star Federation and the Teegardian National Defense against the Republic of Phoenix Military. The 12 day invasion lasted from 5 August to 17 August 2117, and signified the complete fall of the Teegarden System to the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix, The invasion of the Teegarden System was the last successfully invasion the Republic of Phoenix would make. The Battle for Sol would soon follow.

#### Summary of Battle

On the 5 August, 2117, at 0915 standard time, as final preparations for evacuating the civilians out of a possible warzone of Thios, the Republic of Phoenix's Task Force 9 warped just outside of the planet, firing on civilian transport ships fleeing the system. The Blue Star Federation Navy's 26th Naval Fleet attempted to defend with everything they had, but due to the immense firepower of Task Force 9, were completely destroyed in several minutes, buying time for the remaining ships of the Teegardian National Defense Naval Fleet to flee to the surface of the planet to continue evacuations. by 7 August the planet of Thios was completely blockaded, and the Teegardian National Defense began to allow civilians to join the coming invasion, passing weapons to civilians and quickly training civilians wanting to join. On the 10th of August at 1823 standard time the invasion of the planet began, the Republic of Phoenix Military met fierce resistance from the civilians and militaries. On the 15 August at 3520 standard time, a Glassblower warship was brought in and Shakira Pevochik, the new admiral of Task Force 9, threatened to glass the planet of Thios if the forces surrendered. Fearing the glassing of their capitol world, the majority of the Teegardian National Defense surrendered their forces. The surrendering forces, under the command of Falgor Malicha, were quickly incarcerated as POWs, and Falgor Malicha was beheaded by Shakira Pevochik herself. On the 17 August at 6430 standard time, 2117, the Republic of Phoenix successfully captured the planet of Thios, and such began the complete occupation of the Teegarden System until the Blockade of Teegarden's Star.

### Occupation

From the day of occupation, to the day of liberation (17 August 2117 to 19 March 2118), the people of the Teegarden System were pushed and agitated by the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix, the extreme control using military force, under the command of Shakira Pevochik, was brutal. with multiple cases of rape, torture, and other horrendous crimes of war. the remnants of the Blue Star Federation Armed Forces, and the Teegardian National Defense, formed multiple splinter rebel groups, targeting the mining efforts the Republic of Phoenix had, performing guerilla warfare on convoys and patrols, and sabotaging shipyards, military bases, and ships themselves. These rebels, despite bringing harsher responses to the general population by the Republic of Phoenix Military, the rebellions inspired and gave hope for the peoples of the Teegardian System. When the Blockade of Teegarden's Star began, efforts of rebellion finally began to stir in the hearts of the people, causing riots and revolts in greater numbers.

### The Blockade of Teegarden's Star

The Blockade of Teegarden's Star is a controversial recapturing campaign that lasted from 3 February to 19 April 2118, with the Blue Star Federation retaking the Republic of Phoenix occupied Teegarden System. After the Battle for Sol, the weakened Republic of Phoenix Military was far noticeable to the Blue Star Federation. However, the presence of a Glassblower warship concerned many strategist; if a full on assault was conducted, they assumed, the Glassblower warship would immediately fire at Thios. under the command of Parker Birbia, the entire fleet was to surround the planets at a distance far enough to disrupt any trade connections, but to not fully engage the Republic of Phoenix Military on a full scale.

#### Summary of Battle

After the Battle of Earth, and the destruction of Task Force 9, The Blue Star Federation High Command began to set their sights on the retaking of the systems under the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix, one of these systems was the Teegardem System. on 3 February 2118 the Blue Star Federation deployed the 13th, 14th 15th, and 16th Naval Fleets, under the command of Commander Parker Birbia. The two combined fleets, of 172 ships, began a massive blockade of the two planets. The blockade greatly influenced the many Tangardian rebel cells, which invoked an even greater resistance against the struggling Republic of Phoenix Military. The defending Republic of Phoenix Military fleet were constantly harassed, whether from Blue Star Federation Navy ‘s quick attacks, or sabatoge from rebel cells. As the blockade strengthened as more systems were being retaken by the Blue Star Federation, Admiral Shakira Pevochik began to order the use of slave labor and to employ even more disastrous mining and farming efforts on Thios, causing severe harm to the environment. This was a desperate attempt to bring back shipbuilding production and food production, which since the blockade and rebel movements have been halted or slowed. On 15 April 4530 standard time, the Bue Star Federation Naval Corvette BSS *Calatoma Prixae* detected the Glassblower warship beginning to charge up its weapons; Shakira Pevochik gave the order to glass the planet of Thios. The Blue Star Federation immediately began to send the entire blockading fleet stationed at Thios to destroy the Glassblower warship. The fierce fighting between the remaining fleet of the Republic of Phoenix Military and the vastly outnumbering Blue Star Federation Navy's fleet began. Despite the majority of the Republic of Phoenix Military's fleet at Thios being destroyed, the Glassblower warship became fully charged, and fired it's charge at the planet's surface, immediately killing around 1.5 billion civilians, rebels, and even those under the Republic of Phoenix Military. The beam continued its fire for 2 hours until it was finally interrupted by its destruction. by the end of the glassing, ~ 7,467,000,000 of the ~ 7,743,520,000 population were killed, and the glassing, while failed to turn the planet's surface into molten magma, charred the soil and rock black, destroyed all natural life, vaporized the oceans, and caused the average temperature of the planet to reach an average of 526 K. Shakira Pevochik also ordered the immediate execution of all civilians on Lanulia, which began to some extent, but was stopped by lower officers. The glassing of Thios caused the collapse of morale for the remaining Republic of Phoenix forces on Thios and Lanulia, and their quick surrender. Shakira Pevochik fled the system in her heavily damaged capital ship, RoP *The Benevolent*, avoiding capture. On 19 March 2118, the Teegarden System was fully retaken by the Blue Star Federation.

#### Controversy

Critics call on the tactics of Parker Birbia to be too conservative, and that because of her decisions to hold all forces back, it gave Shakira Pevochik time to order, activate, and fire the Glassblower warship on Thios, as well as the mass execution of civilians on Lanulia. Critics also put the blame on Parker Birbia for the failed capture of Shakira Pevochik, who managed to escape on the heavily damaged flagship *The Benevolent*. Many conspiracy theorist even believe that Parker Birbia was with Shakira Pevochik the entire time, and helped orchestrate the mass genocide and planetary destruction. These claims have been proven false. The Blockade of Teegarden's Star, despite a victory for the Blue Star Federation, was enough to ruin the reputation of Parker Birbia.

### Reconstruction

After completely securing the Teegarden System of any hostilities, the immediate process of reconstruction began. With the massive rebuilding projects to resurrect the old cities that were reduced to piles of debri and rubble, and were like that for much of the occupation of the Republic of Phoenix. by the end of the war, much of the planet of Lanulia and its cities were restored, and most of the refugees that originated from Lanulia migrated back to their new homes. During this time, a private company was commissioned by the Blue Star Federation to bring back Thios back to its original form. This process took mutiple years, and lasted 2 years after the end of the First Solar War. On 6 July, 2123, Thios was rendered paradise habitability, and 60% resemblance. Thanks to the efforts of Queen's Due Center for National Defense in preserving the species, both plant and animal. the private company was able to reintroduce these species back into Thios, where they flourished into present day Thios. As a reminder of the of the atrocities committed, a large pyramid made of the planets original stone was constructed on the North pole of Thios in memory of those that lost their lives in the massive genocide and planet destruction by glassing and execution. The simple words in English “Remember” are engraved in the plaque on the structure.
