## History

### Colonization Period

Alditeron was originally colonized by the Alliance of Independent Settlements in 3795.

### AIS Period

Alditeron was quickly developed by the settlers into a system with all the amenities one would expect from a system that had already been colonized for hundreds of years; its jump gate was completed in 3829, and its system defense forces were much stronger than other similar systems from the beginning. Despite the fact that both inhabited moons had to be terraformed, a large number of immigrants soon arrived in the system to help with building it up. The local government also built many space stations that were used as repair and refitting facilities. Alditeron was mostly peaceful under AIS control.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Alditeron is a mostly safe AIS system, with only rare pirate attacks reported. The main industry here is starship repair and refitting, with over a hundred space stations in the system specifically offering these services. Most of these space stations are used by private companies renting space in them from the local government. This business is very profitable for the local government, and allows it to invest heavily in the system defense forces. If you come here to trade, bring in a large cargo of starship modules and repair tools, buy up agricultural products, and you will return with a huge profit. In addition to the starship repair sector, Alditeron also has a large agricultural sector on the surfaces of the two moons. Both moons have fairly similar terrain, mostly flat with some smaller bodies of water (compared to Earth). There are a few native species which survived the terraforming process, mostly insects and fish. Some new species have emerged since terraforming, mainly plants, which help to supplement the plants that were added to the moons later. In addition to the planet and its two moons, Alditeron has many comets and isolated asteroids; there is no asteroid belt, but rather loose swarms of asteroids throughout the system. Barondi's gravity causes most asteroids nearby to crash into it rather than the two moons, although both moons have several anti-asteroid laser emplacements to protect the colonists just in case. On Wizzaron, there are many deep bunkers that are used in case of catastrophic asteroid impacts, where an asteroid large enough to not be affected by the defense lasers would crash into the moon's surface. There are numerous asteroids large enough for this to happen in the outer regions of the system, although it is highly unlikely any will ever orbit into the region near Barondi and its moons.
