Thuban star system

The **Thuban star system** is a pre-charted tertiary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Thuban has a long history of strife and an even longer history as a capital or origin of three major historic factions. For one Thuban alongside Orion is the birthplace of the United Federation Allegiance (UFA) that lost the first civil war, longtime capital of the more successful successor of the First Federation until its destruction and shared home to the later temporary major power of Richton that shared the system with the Federation for a time during the Mercenary Era.

Despite its devastation and depopulation, its natural avenue for all economic exploitation, variety of planets and well connected infrastructure makes it a perfect target for a rebuilding campaign and expansion of civil infrastrucure. While more internal gates would be needed longterm, shortterm mantis drives would suffice.

Alas, there is the little danger of a massive conflict, should Sapphire fall to the Second Federation. But with the presence and defense of the legendary A.S.C. Phantom in Sapphire surely nothing will go wrong.

## History

### During Legends/Mercenaries

Thuban is the home of the Federation and although the war has ended, tensions remain high between the Alliance controlled system of Sapphire and Thuban. Local mercenaries here are known to attack ships from the Alliance without provocation. As a result, Alliance command continues to warn against travelling to the system. The system is usually in conflict with various companies and military factions battling for control of the system's abundant resources. For well equipped mercenaries interested in combat roles, this system offers some of the most attack, patrol, and spy contracts.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Strong presence, owned by military and government.
* Navy/Military - Strong presence, aggressively attacks Alliance ships.
* Rebels - Moderate presence, frequently attacks many civilian Thuban ships.
* Guilds/Clans - Moderate presence, disrupts energy shipping, wants own territory.
* Miners - Limited presence, mostly independent ships.

### Arvoch Alliance

The system was a temporary retreat for the A.C.S. Nova and the site of several major battles of the Federation against the Vonari. The massive damage the canines caused to its fleets in the region caused the Federation to surrender their ambitions to decisively win the war against the Alliance.

### After the Insanity War

As one of the few formerly autarch systems in the entire Evochron galaxy, the devastation of Thuban has left an especially bitter mark on the Insanity War, much more than the destruction of Outer Sol. With nothing left but the core colony on Thuban and some space installations in the core region it can safely be called a genocide. It was a revenge long harbored by the Alliance of Sol, an empire ecstatic to have crushed its longterm separatist traitors, or the doomed and fanatic last stand of a superpower unwilling to sign peace. In the end both sides will tell a different story and there has been no victor.

Thuban remains under heavy occupation with battleships and destroyers abound. The Alliance still expects the Second Federation to attempt to get its devastated heartland and home back. Mayhaps that paranoia is justified or just another outlet for the trauma of the Alliance.

Perhaps one day it will return to its former glory.

## Trade Routes

Thuban is one of the only system which has all industries and outside of the far distant high-tech planet of Alsafi, all are in a chain of planets leader to the right and Thuban B.

The system can be revived to be a major internal trade hub.
