## History

### Colonization Period

2 Orionis was colonized by settlers from the Bandorian Protectorate in 2675. Betu's three moons were determined to be habitable with terraforming, which had been started in 2670 and concluded in 2675.

### UHW alliance

At the start of the Empire-Union War in 3498, the UHW, the Galactic Empire, and the Protectorate signed a mutual defense treaty. The UHW, as they had no systems of their own, requested use of the facilities in 2 Orionis for their ships, and also use of the system itself as a staging area for their fleet. The Bandorian authorities in the system accepted these requests; the location of the UHW's fleet staging area was kept a secret long after the war, and they continued to have a presence in the system indefinitely.

### Bandorian Period

2 Orionis became a major system in the Protectorate, with massive population growth, and a Starconnect hub was constructed here in 3907. Its jump gate was upgraded to an accelerator-type jump gate in 3987, allowing travel within 25,000 lightyears of the star system.

System Details

2 Orionis is a major population center and transport hub for the Protectorate; the system has a Starconnect hub and an accelerator jump gate. Major factories of Seldar Industries, Spirit Shipyards, and Imperial Shipyards are located here. The UHW also has a significant presence in this system, and a major factory of Military Grade Industries is located here. This system is quite safe; the reason for the lower security rating is because Renegade ships sometimes come to this system. The Starconnect hub means that you can get many passenger contracts to deliver passengers to or from this system. The outer planet is huge; it blocks most of the sunlight to its moons, which are the inhabited bodies of the system. As a consequence, it is dark most of the time on the moons, and the citizens here are known for their superior night vision. This system is also a major producer of night optics and night vision equipment. The Protectorate has a minor naval base here, which is mainly used as a repair and refuel center for subcapital naval ships. Many subcapital ships can be seen docked at this station and at other stations in this system. While this system has good repair facilities for naval ships, it is not a center of naval shipbuilding.
