## History

### Colonization Period

Oporan was originally colonized by the Bandorian Protectorate in 2156. The system's basic infrastructure had been completed by 2170.

### First Bandorian Period

Oporan was briefly under the control of the Protectorate, but it became independent for a few months at the end of the Second Interstellar War before being taken over by the Galactic Empire.

### Independent Period

From 1 April 2196 until 14 July 2196, Oporan was an independent system, with no official local government being in place. Various local factions that sprang up tried to take control of the system, but on 14 July Imperial forces entered Oporan, and on 18 July the last of the local rebel forces had surrendered.

### Imperial Period

Under Imperial rule, Oporan became a major population center and industrial hub, with a massive naval shipyard being built here, later converted to a Torov-class standard. Oporan was the site of a major battle during the Perth War, and a massive fleet action during the Empire-Union War, in which Bandorian and Imperial forces forced a fleet of over 300 Union ships to retreat from the system. After the fall of the Empire, Oporan rejoined the Protectorate.

### Second Bandorian Period

Oporan was mostly peaceful during the second period in which it was ruled by the Protectorate.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Oporan is a major industrial hub, as well as a major population center. It has a Torov-class naval shipyard, making it a massive producer of naval starships, as well as factories of Imperial Shipyards, Seldar Industries, Brock Industries, Spirit Shipyards, and Kordon Shipyards. It is the location of a Starconnect hub as well, making it a good system for gaining experience as a passenger ferrier. Oporan is quite safe, and has massive commerce markets, making it a major trading hub. It also has a very large asteroid belt, orbiting roughly from 7.5 AU to 12.5 AU from the system's A star; there are many LABS colonies in the 'belt. Oporan is also a major research center for the Protectorate, with one of its major facilities being used to research new starship armor and shielding technologies. Despite its past history of conflict, the system is quite friendly with regards to regulations for interstellar traders, especially those from within Protectorate space. If you go to this system, it is best to have a very large transport, for making maximum profits; due to the sheer size of Oporan's commerce markets, there are very many favorable trades for savvy pilots.
