## History

### Colonization Period

Aerasia/Mu Arae was first colonized by settlers from the Bandorian Protectorate in 2192. Terraforming had been completed in 2191.

### Bandorian Period

Aerasia remained under the control of the Protectorate during the time of the Galactic Empire, and was one of the original ten former Bandorian systems whose commanders declared their support for Supreme Leader Vasily Spiakov after Lu Weng declared himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire. It saw major conflicts in the Second Interstellar War, Empire-Union War, and the Second Kroll War. Aerasia became a major center of Bandorian politics, as well as a major population center and a major industrial center. It was well-known for being the birthplace of the three Komarov brothers, Sergei Komarov, Ivan Komarov, and Viktor Komarov. In 2903 the system's jump gate was upgraded to an accelerator-class jump gate, capable of sending ships to distances of up to 25,000 lightyears.

### 4025 Guide to the Universe

Mu Arae is a major Bandorian population center, as well as a major industrial center. It is also the location of Penal Colony Seven, which is used to contain most Bandorian criminals arrested for crimes such as illegal data transfer or blackmailing. This system has major factories of New Severodvinsk Shipyards, Bandoria Stardrive, Mystic Drive Yards, Brock Industries, Seldar Industries, Imperial Shipyards, UHW Shipyards, Military Grade Industries, and Ceres Space. This system is very safe, and the security forces and system defense forces are so powerful that not even the Kroll presence in the system is enough to get the system security rating committee to lower this system's security rating. This system is home to major bases of the Santonian Order and the Duskhan League, and the Kroll Alliance has many contacts in this system, as well as customers, since Kroll technology is slightly more advanced than even Bandorian technology. Kroll weaponry is especially in high demand, and both Bandorian bounty hunters and Bandorian researchers buy many Kroll weapons, both to use them and to study them. Kroll rapid-fire high-damage long-range lasers are among the best laser weaponry in existence, and the Kroll also have many advanced kinds of missiles and mines that not even the best Bandorian civilian weaponry can match. Any unfortunate pirates who come into this system are quickly destroyed by fire from the heavily armed jump gate, although if they manage to make it through the jump gate’s powerful flak batteries they will be destroyed by bounty hunters or civilian ships further into the system, or even in the outbound traffic queue. Mu Arae is infamous for its extremely long wait times for outbound traffic at the jump gate, and the queue is usually several hundred ships long. Ships with priority passes, such as Santonian or Duskhan ships, can move to the front of the queue, although Bandorian military ships take precedence over all other ships and will always go first. Mu Arae is home to many Bandorian high-ranking military officials, and several past Supreme Leaders have come from this system. This system also plays an important role in Bandorian politics. Mu Arae has a large asteroid belt, orbiting between 6.0 and 8.0 AU from the star. Many good mining opportunities can be found in this asteroid belt, and not many of the asteroids are claimed by the IMG, so you do not need an IMG membership to make very good profits from mining here. Most of the asteroids are good sources of gases, metals, and gemstones. A few asteroids have extremely rare kinds of metals, and some of these can only be found in this system. The asteroids here are not very good sources of radioactive materials, but many of them have materials that are under research.
